Comment 5 for bug 165727

Revision history for this message
In , Ambrose Li (ambrose-li-cccgt) wrote : inkscape: Feedback for scaling line segments wrong

Package: inkscape
Version: 0.43-2
Severity: normal

When the "Scale stroke width" preference is disabled, the thickness of the line
segment *will* still vary when it is being scaled. When the user releases the
mouse, the line segment will suddenly return to the original thickness.

This is misleading (wrong) visual feedback for the user.
