Description lmart121@yahoo.com 2021-03-22 22:51:33 UTC
Description:
I create documents in LibreOffice Writer that include images and text. I use the PNG format for the images. PNG images appeared with good quality in Writer 7.0, but those same images appear blocky/fuzzy in Writer 7.1.1.2.  Text within the images appears especially blocky. I've replaced some of the images with the PDF format and those images accurately display. 

The issue is present on both a laptop and desktop computer running Linux Ubuntu 20.04 or 20.10. I have not checked if the issue occurs on a Windows 10 laptop.  

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create an image with text added to it and save it in the SVG format.Export the SVG file to the PNG format.
2.Add a picture in Writer 7.1.1.2 and select the PNG file.
3.You should see that the text in the PNG image is of reduced quality.  

Actual Results:
When I perform the steps noted above, I get lesser quality images that are especially noticeable when viewing the text. 

Expected Results:
In all previous versions of Writer, the images retained their original quality and text within the image appear smooth and accurate. 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
If you'd like screenshots of the issue I can send two screenshots: one which shows the original image quality and a second which shows the reduced quality as it appears in Writer.

This looks like a duplicate of bug 140755.
It should be fixed in LibreOffice 7.1.2.2
