Hi Yader,

Thanks for the bug report!

That is actually an old bug. Can you please upgrade to the latest version of Inkscape? It should be fixed in the latest version that has been available for some months now. The latest version in the Fedora repos is:

inkscape-0.47-1.fc12 (1 Dec 2009)

In the future, you should always try upgrading to the latest before reporting a bug. You can do this by running the following command as root:

yum update inkscape -y

Alternatively, you may use the software update tool available by selecting the System > Administration > Software Updates menu item - you will need an administrative password for your machine for this as well.

Thanks,
~m
