Bug fixes.
- Symbols that contain a clipping path or mask no longer cause the Symbols dialog to create a high processor load
- The keyboard shortcut that is meant to scale the selection by 1 screen pixel now does so again
- Raster images that are opened with Inkscape now end up in the page area even when the document origin is set to the bottom left corner
- Dithering (for smooth gradients) is now disabled by default (even if it was enabled before you update to 1.2.2) because it was causing a loss of performance while drawing
