[Inkscape-user] 2 entries for 1 object in XML Editor

Hi Friends,
I was just using the XML Editor to try and help someone in a forum.
Completely unrelated to their problem, I noticed that 2 entries are being
created for each object, in the XML. I've never noticed that before.

Have I inadvertently changed some option that might be causing this?
Because wouldn't this kind of behavior result in file size that's double what
it's supposed to be?

Just making up a test file, in case anyone wants it. And doing that, I
noticed that it's only happening if the Fill and Stroke dialog is open. After
closing the F/S dialog however, it's still happening. Wow, and sometimes adding
3 or 4 entries for each object! But if F/S dialog is not open when the file is
opened, it doesn't happen.

At first I thought this was something I did wrong. But with F/S dialog
being involved, now I wonder if it's a bug? I searched in LP and didn't find
anything similar. But there's a good chance any existing report uses
terminology that I don't understand or recognize.

Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit, Inkscape 0.92.1, 64-bit, exe installer. I can
test in 0.92pre3, 64-bit, 7z version and 0.91, 32-bit, 7z version, if it would
be helpful.

What else can I give you, if necessary?

Hhmm, another new file doesn't show this. Curious. Well, fwiw :-)

Thanks,
brynn

It's probably this known bug:

Thanks Maren!

Oh yes, it did start happening when I had 3 instances open. I added a comment
about the F/S dialog, in case it might help.

Thanks again :-)
