Oh hey I found a bug, let me file a bug report. Oh, it already exists. Opened 9 years ago. With 27 comments. And two dupes. *sigh* Here's a diagnosis of the problem. And here's a patch to fix it, because clearly if I don't nobody else will.https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/381677 …

This just strikes me as terribly inefficient. Surely in 9 years someone more qualified than me with actual familiarity with the codebase could've looked at the bug and fixed it, right? I mean I spent most of the time just learning about Inkscape's object model and Cairo.

``someone more qualified than me,, means one person from a pool of roughly 4-6 (varies across time, not always the same people), looking at one old bug in a pool of 4000, and few of them has any knowledge of cairo rendering stuff.

As for the fix, if you want, you can make the merge request on https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/merge_requests/ … (or I can do it this evening after work)

Replying to @___Mc__
I didn't go straight to MR because honestly I have no idea if the fix is the right approach. It works for me, but I want someone who knows the codebase to tell me if it makes any sense or not :-)

As for the bugs, that sounds like an unhealthy amount of open bugs for a project with such a small team. I'm not blaming the developers, it's just an unfortunate situation.
