Render>Grid doesn't render the horizontal lines properly

do you mean the menu item Extensions->Render->Grid?
I just tried that and got the following result, which looks normal.

Yes, that's the one. This is the result I am getting. see attached picture.

- could you attach the corresponding .svg file?
- when you render the grid, have you selected an object ?

Strange... When I select it now it does render it right. I could have sworn
it didn't work yesterday when I did that. Sorry if this was a false alarm. I
have provided the file that messed up.

Confirmed with Inkscape 0.47pre1 r21720, built Jul 20 2009, on OS X 10.5.7.

Extensions > Render > Grid…
- works when no object is selected (uses page as boundaries)
- fails when applied to a selected rectangle (as shown in "render grid.png" attached in comment 2)

confirmed on Windows XP, Inkscape 0.47pre0 as well.

this is a weird one. In Inkscape preferences there is a setting for SVG output-> allow relative coordinates. The default is checked yes (I think). With this checked I can reproduce the problem.

A few days ago I had unchecked unchecked this option, and therefore could not reproduce this problem.

also, this does not appear to be a Python extension, as far as I can tell.

internal extension implemented in C++
grid.cpp - <http://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape/inkscape/trunk/src/extension/internal/grid.cpp?revision=20247&view=markup>
grid.h - <http://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape/inkscape/trunk/src/extension/internal/grid.h?revision=20240&view=markup>

Works well with 0.46.

I think hit this bug based on the steps in an InscapeForum tutorial. I'm on WinXP. Seems that the priority should be higher.

related: Bug #442642 “Inkscape crashes on Effects: render: grid without default”
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/442642>

Confirmed on Ubuntu 9.10, Inkscape 0.47pre4.

Too late for 0.47. Targeting 0.47.1 (or 0.48).

Fix committed in bzr revision 9361.
Please test!

fix in parts confirmed with Inkscape 0.47+devel r9361 (OS X 10.5.8)

Quick test: the bug as originally filed is fixed. However - as many other items - the extension doesn't deal with a resized/format-changed page: the calculated grid is inserted offset from the bounding box of the selected object - or from the current page margins (if no object is selected).

more generally: the extension misplaces the grid if the selected object/inserted grid is inside a transformed group.

This bug will be fixed in Ubuntu with the release of inkscape_0.48.0-1ubuntu1, which will appear in Maverick shortly. Please see bug #628048 for details.
