Public bug reported: When converting state outline data, I found that for various states that inkscape would perform an unauthorized partial fill of the outline at various zoom levels, especially low zoom levels. This was seen for all states combined and for individual state files.
Looks like a classic case of a rasterization/fill algorithm being confused counting edges by minute details but why is such an algorithm even running on unfilled region? What happens if you actually try to fill is an exercise for the reader. One such state outline is attached.
