  Cursor position markers are not cleared from rulers

  Fix Released
Status in “inkscape” package in Arch Linux:

Status in “inkscape” package in Fedora:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: inkscape

  ** IMPORTANT: Please do not add any more "Me too" comments to this
     report.  They are unnecessary and they make the report very
     difficult to read.  The bug has been fixed in Inkscape 0.48.1,
     which is available in Ubuntu Natty alpha 2.  We are currently
     looking into fixing the bug in Ubuntu Maverick too.  If you
     experience this bug, please just use the "Does this bug affect
     you?" link above.

  Since upgrade to Maverick, rulers sometimes forget to refresh. It
  happens only on plain pointer move over canvas area. Middle mouse
  button panning triggers proper ruler repainting, for example. Image is
  attached to illustrate the problem.

  Probably not inkscape's fault directly, this bug, but so far, I've
  only experienced problems there. Please reassign at will.

  Regards,
  Vlada

  == Ubuntu stable release update (SRU) notes ==
  * IMPACT/JUSTIFICATION: This bug makes the on-screen rulers in Inkscape effectively unusable for every Maverick user.  Please see the large number of "affects me"/duplicate bugs.  This is a major issue for a graphics package, in which precise measurements may be required.  Backporting the fix would make a log of people happy!

  * DETAILS OF FIX: The bug is fixed in the latest upstream version of
  Inkscape (0.48.1), which is a bug-fix only release.  This version has
  been released in Natty as inkscape_0.48.1-0ubuntu1.  The upstream fix
  was applied in bzr in r9725 of lp:inkscape/0.48.x

  * PATCH DETAILS: The upstream patch has been attached to this report
  (see 9725_9724.diff).  This patch fixes the single issue described in
  this report, and introduces no additional changes.

  * TEST CASE: Start Inkscape; move mouse across canvas.  Black
  triangular cursor marks are splattered across both rulers.  [Expected
  result: A single cursor moves smoothly across each ruler to match the
  position of the mouse pointer]

  * REGRESSION POTENTIAL: As far as I know, no new bugs have been
  reported concerning the rulers in Inkscape 0.48.1 since this patch was
  applied.
