Created attachment 160935 [details] File showing an expression of the issue in a real example. When you make a mask to subtract areas from a bitmap, after applying the mask using right click, Shapes | Subtract, the resulting image has its aspect ratio altered. REPLICATION: 1. Create a new page 2. Add a bit map image to the page 3. Add a rectangle shape to cover the image 4. Add a shape above the rectangle (e.g, circle or hexagon) 5. Use the Shapes | Subtract to remove the hexagon from the rectangle 6. Then use the resulting shape with a hexagonal hole to create a hexagon crop of the image 7. Observe the aspect ratio has changed EXPECTED: The area of the image to which the mask was applied should remain the same, as should the size. IMPRESS NOT AFFECTED: Note that this only occurs in Draw. In Impress, the mask behaves as expected.
I am marking this as new as I confirmed it also on a different machine. I had also noticed it in earlier versions of Draw though I cannot confirm how far back.
Confirming with 7.0 and with LibreOffice 3.5.7.2 Build ID: 3215f89-f603614-ab984f2-7348103-1225a5b Note: self-conformation is a thing around here..
Note that I have also just observed the same thing happening in Impress on the same version.
Dear Derek Keats, 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 MassPing-UntouchedBug
This bug is still present, and is now also present in Impress. Version: 7.4.2.3 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 40(Build:3) CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 5.19; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-ZA (en_ZA.UTF-8); UI: en-ZA Ubuntu package version: 1:7.4.2~rc3-0ubuntu1 Calc: threaded The behaviour is exactly as I documented initially, and it still forces the use of a third tool to do this one thing. It would be really awesome if it could be fixed as I use Libreoffice for everything otherwise, and it is a fantastic suite.
This bug is still present as of the latest release. It would be so useful to have it resolved. Is there any chance of that happening? It is now several years!
