I am going to assume that the reason this bug doesn't get fixed is because it isn't really a bug. It works as intended and as advertised - Inkscape is an SVG editor and a Clip operation in SVG does not change the boundary size.

However there's one thing which must be fixed.

The rubber band should be around the boundary, not the clip.

The reason why the Clipping behaviour is being reported as a bug, and why all the related bugs have been reported, is because the user interface is __outright_lying__ to them about what they can do.

If the rubber band stayed at the size of the union of the objects then at least users would be able to see what they are dealing with, and maybe look for a way to resolve it, !!like grouping!!!
