odd, unclean rendering of dotted lines -stroke path in circles- (40.45 KB, image/jpeg)

Created attachment 311741 [details]
odd, unclean rendering of dotted lines -stroke path in circles-

tracing a circle/ellipse looks not only optimal, but has some problems to calculate the right distance between empty spaces, and the rendering of the line segments itself, they look jaggy and not clean.
Comment 1 Michael Schumacher 2015-09-21 11:27:34 UTC 
Is this a stroked path, or a stroked selection? And what were the settings used to stroke it?
Comment 2 Jo 2015-09-25 22:24:54 UTC 
its a stroked selection

the settings are:
1- open the trace dialog under the selection dialog 
2- click on predefined line style #4
3- leave the other options on default and confirm
Comment 3 Michael Schumacher 2015-09-28 12:53:59 UTC 
Yes, this is how selections are stroked (you are stroking a pixel mask, as the selection isn't a vector object). The approach to take there is to create a path from the selection and stroke that.
Comment 4 Michael Natterer 2015-09-28 15:11:03 UTC 
This is actually a duplicate of a very old bug.
