The bug can be reproduced by creating a brand new svg file. This is not related to imported files:
1) open Inkscape (0.48 in my case) 2) choose menu/File/Save as 3) input non ascii characters in title field such as "RĂ©seau" 4) close Inkscape 5) Inkscape fails to open the file 6) Google Chrome fails to open the file and gives error position on the first non-ascii character -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/499257 Title: saves svg file, that it can't read afterwards -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
