Package: inkscape
Version: 0.46-5
Severity: normal
If text on a path and the path it is attached to are duplicated as a
group, inkscape keeps the text connected to the original path, not the
new path. IMO this is a surprising behavior and less useful than
linking the text to the new path.
Try the following:
1. Make a path and place some text on it.
2. Make the text and the path into a group (C-g).
3. Make several duplicates of the group and move them around the page.
4. Notice that deforming the original path affects all the text
objects, but deforming any of the other paths doesn't affect any
object (including the one that appears to be attached to the path).
Particularly if the text has been moved along the path, it would be
nice to have the duplicated text attached to the duplicated path, so
that you can easily have a uniform "starting condition" for all the
duplicates.
