Created attachment 181103 [details] SmartArt with background Make sure that the option "SmartArt to LO shapes or reverse" is checked in "Microsoft Office" section in "Load/Save" in Tools/options. Open attached document. It has a SmartArt with green background. You will see now background. Reason is, that the background is imported with a 4x4 size. You can examine it with the Developer Tools.
Created attachment 181104 [details] Screenshot comparing Word with LO The wrong text direction is a different error and likely covered by bug 149809 and/or bug 149551.
I can confirm this with Version: 7.5.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 61f5c991a97de8990badfed6ef840941b5aa8c7f CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 5.13; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb) Locale: pt-BR (pt_BR.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded The green background is not visible after import. But it is visible if the file is opened with MSO Word.
Created attachment 181208 [details] Wrong width of elements in SmartArt Open the attached document. It has a SmartArt and a screenshot of it. Notice that the circles are distorted to ellipses. It seems an underlying problem is, that the group, which represents the SmartArt, does not get a size. And therefore it is not possible to assign the correct size to the background shape, e.g in AddShape() in oox. I have put the example not into a new bug report, because I suspect, that it has the same reason. At least, if I add the size in GraphicImport(), the elements are circles as it should be. But I get other import problems, so I have no solution.
@Armin: This is the problem I told you about at the LibreOffice Conference.
I have tried to set the size by setting the logicRect of the background shape around line#974 in writerfilter/source/dmapper/GraphicImport.cxx. That gives indeed a correct size of the background shape, but the size if the SmartArt shapes are still wrong. So this is likely the wrong place for a fix. For testing use a SmartArt with non default shape width or height in the SmartArt components.
The shape mpShape in ShapeContextHandler::getDiagramShapeContext() needs the size as given in cx and cy in document.xml in the docx file markup. I'll try to transport that info from writerfilter to oox.
