I am learning that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. I intuitively, or by much trial and error understand the artistic end of it, but not always the technicalities. I am a relative beginner to vector drawing and have really enjoyed working with Inkscape. I am working on an old Dell, with Inkscape 1.02 I believe. Version infoīisection points to eac403ed or 492fc651 492fc651, though since this involves multiple dialogs, and multiple pages, these commits may not be the only relevant changes.Sorry about the wordy title, and the wordy letter. There's a text in the second page, it's possible to be selected and will conform to any new fill, even gradients, but the original gradient referred to it is missing. The only common thing between then is the use of pages.Īlso crash if in a debug build. I can't always replicate this bug since I was not able to detect any pattern by why exactly this happens, I'm only submitting after noticing the same issue with over 5+ files. It's like they gone missing from whatever place they are located in the SVG. save and reopen (or just open the XML editor and see that the defs tag is empty)Īs far as I can understand/inspect, gradients are still defined in the XML but they are not available to be seen or set to as fill.copy all the objects in the Instagram page, or if starting from scratch, copy both rectangles.open bug_demo.svg, alternatively draw 2 rectangles and give them different gradients.

Hopefully this is the only way to trigger, but below steps were identified by as one way to trigger: Summary: sometimes gradients used in a document seem to be lost after restarting the program.
