Sometimes import SVG loads the SVG, but the dragger/bounding box and transform looks wrong.

If I select import image, and select an SVG, the dragger looks the wrong size, and you rotate drag it properly, as though the transform or size or something is wrong on it.

I am also seeing issues with importing an SVG - either via File > Import or from any of the Image Libraries - as you drag the image from top left to bottom right, the bounding box gets further from the actual image. I am still running 2.6 and don't see the problem, but it is definitely a problem with 2.8.

There were similar issues to this is the past though that might help to debug this current problem, eg:

Hey guyz,

I am working on fixing some SVG edit on my end and I'm noticing this issue has to do with the Transform feature. I do not believe SVG edit has a proper implementation to interpret imported elements that have "transform = 'translate(77,-41) scale(1.43524)'". Every time I try to correct it for single touch it screws up multi selection or the top layer boundary box. I do not see any real fixes in the link either. I am using SVG editor 2.6 currently.

Let me know your thoughts.

Has anyone tried looking into this further? I know that if you break the link to symbol the bounding box resets to the correct position. The symbol gets resized smaller, but after that it all seems ok. Obviously not a solution, but might provide a clue for a fix.
