Description post 2018-12-19 19:46:01 UTC
Description:
A text field that
- contains arbitrary text, then a Unicode Character 'MIDDLE DOT' (U+00B7) and followed by another arbitrary text (everything in one line)
- rotated by some degree, for e.g. -72°
is not exported correctly as SVG.
The rotated text in the exported SVG file is not on line anymore. It decomposes into at least three lines.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new empty drawing.
2. Create a text field and enter some text that contains at least one Unicode Character 'MIDDLE DOT' (U+00B7). Ensure that there is text before AND after the MIDDLE DOT.
3. Rotate the text field by -72°
4. Export SVG

Actual Results:
Rotated text in SVG goes over multiple lines, although it is written as one line in Libre Office Draw.

Expected Results:
Rotated text in SVG should be displayed in one line.


Reproducible: Always

Dear post,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
