NullPointerException SVGMatrix.getXXX();

[Bishop, Michael W. CONTR J9C880]

I have a situation when I select multiple objects and do a copy and paste with them.  I show the copied elements as selected, so I have to get their bounding box.  When I get the SVGMatrix from the SVGLocatable and then try to call SVGMatrix.getA() (or any of the other matrix elements), I get a NullPointerException.  This occurs inside the Batik code with getting an AffineTransform, etc.   My work-around is this (inside a for loop that tries to bound all selected elements):   try {     matrix.getA(); } catch (NullPointerException npExeception) {     continue; }   Obviously this is not ideal.  Has this problem been resolved in nightly builds?  This is a test run against the 1.6 final release.   Michael Bishop
