Description of problem: I was looking at the Inkscape program's physical appearance when I noticed that the rotate-90-degree buttons (near the upper left corner of the window) each show a tooltip mistyped with what looks like an HTML code. The degree symbol in what should be "Rotate selection 90° [counter-]clockwise" instead reads "Rotate selection 90° [counter-]clockwise". This is true for both clockwise and counter-clockwise buttons on the editing toolbar immediately below the main toolbar, but I did not see any similar problem with any of the other button tooltips or menu entries. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): The fine print in the "About Inkscape" window says "Inkscape 0.45.1, built Mar 21 2007" How reproducible: All three times that I opened the program, and every time I hovered my mouse over the offending buttons. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch Inkscape. 2. Hover mouse pointer over either 90° rotate button in the main toolbar. 3. Chuckle/groan in disbelief, at your discretion. Actual results/Expected results: See description above. Additional info: I attached a composite snapshot of what I mean.

Chris: Thanks for noticing. This is already fixed upstream. Prerelease of the new version will hit Rawhide soon and we won't be fixing this in Fedora 7 and 8.
