Comment 11 for bug 213064

Patrice,

This happens to me with 1280x768 resolution, so it seems to be a problem that spans several resolutions.

Michael James,

I can confirm that changing the theme to crux makes the problem go away. Changing back to human theme resurfaces the problem.

However, changing the default theme is not a viable solution, since this affects people using other themes (Clearlooks, for example).

Trying to understand why inkscape does not play well with several gnome themes and patching inkscape package accordingly is a much more reasonable proposal.
