However, if you use "Print as > bitmap" it might be an artefact depending on your resolution.

Perhaps > this is the difference you perceive, at least in a magnification? No, I printed to a Postscript file. The magnification I observed is more like: If I need to "magnify" the width (e.g., in object properties) to make the line the expected width again (in step 3 above), the line in the printout has the same "magnification". For example, if I originally drew a line of width 1 and shortened it to 50% original length, the line will be only 0.5 wide, and I'll need to re-type "1" in object properties. When printed, the line has width 2 (length unaffected). If I had shortened the line to 1/3 original length and later corrected the width, the printout would show the line having width 3 (length unaffected). I mentioned the problem on inkscape's jabber channel and was told to file a bug upstream. If I file a bug upstream, what should I do to the debian bug I filed?
