Title:
'Remove manual kerns' messes up the text locations
Status in Inkscape:
New
Status in inkscape package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
I have the document imported from pdf having text at different
locations. I want to edit some piece of text, and not the other parts.
I select the desired word, click 'Remove manual kerns' menu item and
observe that whole text block got kerns removed and text locations are
all messed up.
See attached testcase. Try selecting any word there (ex. Department),
use 'Remove manual kerns' and see how all other texts jump.
1. inkscape should only perform this operation on the selected text.
2. when text selection includes multiple lines, 'Remove manual kerns' should
detect where line and word breaks are and not allow moving large portions of
text. Instead it should group characters into individual lines and keep similar
to original text positions.
3. (additional related idea) when user attempts to edit text with manual
kerns (which I am sure happens every day) people observe weird behavior (and
file PRs like this
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inkscape/+bug/221201). inkscape
should be proactive and warn user that he edits text with manual kerns and he
might want to use 'Remove manual kerns' first. In 99% of cases such de-kerning
is what is really desired by user, not jumping texts and other weird behavior.
