Re:black background, multipage svg, whitespaces

1. I can't seem to reproduce that one. But I do care who you blame for it. If you want to report it as a bug, you need to track down which product (or multiple products, if you care to test on more than one browser, SVG editor/exporter, and format) generates this issue for you. That's right: you do. And if it's a Firefox bug, you need to report it to Firefox Bugzilla.

2. I don't see how those topics relate to each other, nor how taken together they constitute "a problem." If the first part is asking when Inkscape will support multi-page SVG documents, then that fortunately is easy to find. <a href="http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Roadmap" title="inkscape.org">According </a inkscape.org>to Inkscape's developers, multi-page SVG is set for Inkscape 0.49. I'm not sure what the phrase "tabs for multi-files" is intended to express, so I can't understand what that problem is supposed to be.

3. That one I can, indeed, reproduce, but since it does not happen when you print the same file from Inkscape itself, it is with absolute, 100% certainty a Firefox bug. Nobody working on Inkscape is going to be able to do anything about it. You need to report it to Firefox Bugzilla.

4. The "usability"/"fancy editing" complaint is so vague it's unusable (which is a little ironic). But it does allow me to reiterate what I mentioned in a reply to an earlier comment: complaining about bugs here, in a discussion thread tied to a review on a news site, is utterly useless. If you want to see some attention given to your pet bugs, you have to bring it up with the people who devote their time to developing the application. They are the ones who need to know where folks are finding bugs, and they're the ones who fix those bugs. It's unlikely that they even read reviews of their own software in depth, and they certainly aren't going to be rereading the comment threads four and five days after the review ran.
