Comment 5 for bug 480955

a) different bbox for transforms
> If this is to be changed, then Inkscape should discard
> the filters when calculating the visual bounding box
> for transformations.

b) imporved filter effects region
> The real bug here could be that the bbox is much too
> large. If it would tightly fit around the object and its
> applied filter then this behavior would not be as annoying
