Your example file was not originally created in Inkscape: <!-- Generator: Adobe Illustrator 9.0, SVG Export Plug-In -->
It uses a combination of width/height and viewBox to set the dimensions of all contained elements of the main viewport (Inkscape itself doesn't create a viewBox attribute itself, but does respect it when rendering): width="541.41699pt" height="541.41602pt" viewBox="0 0 541.417 541.416" Attaching the same file recreated with Inkscape without using the viewBox attribute: now the relation between rectangle and visual bbox dimensions are correct. > Yes the stroke is definitely 0.01mm As far as I know, such small stroke widths (basically none, or at least my eyes would not see a line with the width of a one-hundredth mm without a magnifier) are rounded up to a minimal width in the dimensions on the controls bar of the select tool. My example file uses 0.1 mm to better illustrate the relations between the geometric dimensions of a shape and the visual bounding box dimensions). ** Attachment added: "512609-Problem-NEW.svg" https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/512609/+attachment/1942277/+files/512609-Problem-NEW.svg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/512609 Title: Width and height don't match in Rectangle and Selection tools -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
