Bug Description
Bug first reported on the German Inkscape forum by user LaGGGer:
Steps to reproduce:
- Open Inkscape (German localization) with default A4 document.
- Create some rectangle or other shape
- Change page size from A4 to something else
- Now use the extension Visualize Path -> Dimensions with 'visual' set for the bounding box to use
- (Wait... (why is this so slow? Does it loop through different font sizes until it finds one that fits?))
- Find the rendered measurements far away from the original object (above if page size is smaller than A4, below if page size is larger)
Find an example result attached.

reproduced on Windows 10, Inkscape 0.92.1 r15371
likely caused by the fact that the bounding box is obtained from the CLI command Popen('inkscape --query-%s') and this command will not be aware of the fact that the page size has changed.
The slow response time is probably related to the fact that a new instance of Inkscape has been opened.
