Summary0011605: Shape Vertices Coordinates Error
DescriptionI have two guides placed on the page, one horizontal at 258.0 pts and one vertical at 232.5 pts. The rulers origin is set to the intersection of these guides. When editing the vertices of a shape and selecting "Absolute Coordinates", the "X-Pos" and "Y-Pos" values are not relative to the rulers origin unless the origin is at the upper-left corner of the page. Whether relative "to Canvass" or "to Page" is selected, the values are not relative to the page origin. This is very obnoxious when trying to set specific values relative to an origin set somewhere in the interior of a page. (On a side note, another annoying issue is dragging the origin relocator to a new position does not snap to guides, even though Snap to Guides is enabled.)

Did some more experimenting, and absolute coordinates relative to page are correct values in 1.4.1 (provided that the rulers origin is at the upper-left of the page - it still craps out when the page origin is moved), but in version 1.4.2 absolute coordinates relative to page don't correlate with anything. The displayed coordinates don't match up with values on the ruler (with a default page origin). It would also be very convenient to have Next Point and Prev Point buttons in the Edit Points dialog because too many times just clicking on a node causes it to shift (mouse pads on notebooks aren't very precise). By clicking on a Next Point button a user could advance to the next point in the shape to select it without having to actually click on the point.

I'm undecided... I don't understand well the problem.

I can't reproduce Linux Mint 17.3. (???)
