I did some tests and it seems to happen with shapes made from the rectangle tool, using the rounded corner bevel feature(no filter), and convert object to path.

**1** - Open Inkscape.  
**2** - Select “Rectangle Tool”  
**3** - Make square/rectangle shape  
**4** - Bevel its corners(drag the ball shape control point on the left of the shape[not the filter])  
**5** - Save project.  
**6** - Import SVG file to Synfig Studio’s.  
**7** - Move layer groups position in to visible canvas.  
**8 - Done.**

**Some Specs:**  
OS: Windows 10  
Software version:  
Synfig Studio 1.5.3  
Inkscape 1.4.2  
(IDK more to include, ask me if need.)

**Files Tests:**

Hopefully this was comprehensible.
