Comment 17 for bug 365458

I'm currently running inkscape-0.48.0-1.fc14.3.x86_64 (Inkscape 0.48.0 r9654) and I still see this bug. It is not as severe as before - the phantom image is smaller than the full original image before clipping - but it is still a bad, high-impact bug and it affects me on a near daily basis.

~suv, your workaround is what I've been using to cope with the program. Usually I'll group it with a small transparent square and it hasn't ever not worked for me before. It is an annoying background but the only way I've found to cope.
