Title:
  "Affect:" toolbar label should be renamed/removed

Status in Inkscape: Vector Graphics Editor:
  Fix Released
Status in inkscape package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: inkscape

  The tool controls bar for the Select tool contains a button group with
  the label "Affect:".  This label is inappropriate for a couple of
  reasons:

  1. False implication that the buttons apply some sort of visual effect
  (blur, noise etc).  The buttons actually control the effects of
  scale/move operations on borders, gradients and patterns.

  2. Grammatical inconsistency.  Most (perhaps all?) other toolbar
  labels are nouns for the related property ("Width:", "Force:", "Angle
  X" etc).  "Affect:" is a verb.

  It would make sense to either remove the label or replace it with a
  suitable noun for the property being adjusted (maybe something like
  "Scale/move properties:" but less verbose!)
