Title:
  unable to edit attributes in Inkscape XML Editor (Ubuntu overlay-
  scrollbar issues)

Status in Inkscape: Vector Graphics Editor:
  Fix Released
Status in Overlay Scrollbar:
  Confirmed
Status in inkscape package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in overlay-scrollbar package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  If I select an attribute in the XML editor, the edit box below shows
  the attribute name, not its value. If I change the attribute and hit
  'set', a new attribute is created with this name. There is no apparent
  way to change an existing value. I'm using 0.48.2 from Ubuntu Oneiric.

  From duplicate Bug #854545 (which had been reported earlier to 'overlay-scrollbar' than this one to 'Inkscape' and has a more precise description of the problem IMHO):
  > Ideally the overlay scrollbar support could have a minimum-height sanity check.

  The issue affects various widgets and dialogs in Inkscape which do not
  use hard-coded minimal px dimension. IMHO it would be better to
  address this upstream in Ubuntu's overlay code, than patching
  Inkscape's code in various places to insert (hard-coded) minimal
  dimensions (which might not adjust to individual theme settings
  anymore)

  Follow-up reports about individual widgets/dialogs:
