Re: Question about finding an object in the SVG code that corresponds to what I see in the GUI but isn't clickable . .

I looked at the svg... I'm able to simply double-click my way down into the
groups to delete what seems to be the problem objects.

There are hundreds of groups and clips, so I wouldn't spend a lot of time
chasing those if I can fix the small issues. The result is not the perfect
example of a finished svg, but time is money.
