Comment 2 Telesto 2023-07-30 19:10:49 UTC
There actually two issues
1) Gradient fill doesn't render in presentation mode
2) With transparency set to the fontwork -> No fontwork in presentation mode

I can reproduce the first case with Skia/Metal, Skia/Raster, and Skia disabled.

I can also reproduce the second case with Skia/Raster. However, when I set the fontwork transparency to 50% (see screen snapshot in https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=188663), the gradient properly renders in a slideshow with Skia/Metal and Skia disabled.

For comparison, here is the data for the latest Libreoffice 7.6 beta build:

I can reproduce the first case with Skia/Metal, Skia/Raster, and Skia disabled so same as master.

I cannot reproduce the second case regardless of Skia setting.

Conclusion: the first case is not a new bug and the second case is probably a side-effect of the following patch:

https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/114168

So, any fix for the first case should only be needed in the master branch and any fix for the second should be backported to at least libreoffice-7-6.

Unassigning myself. I couldn't find the drawing paths that these occur in, but I haven't had much time.

Found the stacktrace where the fontwork is drawn during a slideshow.

Also, after grabbing the stacktrace, I did some debugging and drew the gradient itself. Instead of horizontal lines of varying shades of gray, the entire gradient rectangle is a dark gray outside of the text so the alpha mask is not right somewhere.

The gradient fill issue mentioned at comment 2 is likely bug 147645

I also noticed that after the fixes for bug 144073, gradient fill is also missing.

I believe that part of this bug and the missing gradient fill in bug 144073 are caused by code surrounding the code in the following commit:

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=adc2ac31fb2763077e48658756946a39d91c8e12

I have committed a fix for https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147645 that should be available in tomorrow's (17 August 2023) nightly master build.

The fix for that bug fixes the gradient drawing in this bug and the bug is fixed, at least on macOS, with Skia/Metal.

However, there is one remaining bug that still needs to be fixed: the background text shapes fail to draw, at least on macOS, with Skia/Raster and Skia disabled.

Just to clarify: "case 1" in https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156539#c2 is fixed, but I still need to fix "case 2" as well as the background text shapes failing to draw still need to be fixed.

After some debugging, I have a theory as to why rendering is failing with Skia/Raster: two polygons are failing to draw in the following code in source/gdi/metaact.cxx:563:

void MetaPolyPolygonAction::Execute( OutputDevice* pOut )
{   
    pOut->DrawPolyPolygon( maPolyPoly );
}

Replacing the above call with pOut->DrawRect( maPolyPoly.GetBoundRect() ); changes the rendering noticeably with Skia/Metal and Skia disabled, but nothing is drawn with Skia/Raster.

So, my first guess is that some Skia call is silently failing with Skia/Raster. But what seems strange to me is that bug only appears when running a slideshow.

I'll post again when I have some more news.

I finally found the one Skia call that is failing. By applying the following debug patch, I can reproduce all cases of this bug with Skia/Metal on macOS:

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=189069

Conclusion: with Skia/Raster, drawing a polypolygon to a Skia surface does nothing. Even setting the paint color to red, disabling clipping, and just drawing a rectangle fails on Skia/Raster so my current theory is that there is a bug somewhere in the Skia code.

Looks like more debugging is needed.

Comment 18 Patrick Luby (volunteer) 2023-09-24 13:19:53 UTC
I finally found the code that is failing to draw. It appears to me that, at least in this particular case, XOR drawing does not work when using Skia/Raster but works fine with Skia/Metal. So, I fixed this bug by using a different set of steps to draw a gradient clipped within a polypolygon when either Skia setting is enabled:

https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/157199

The fix should be in tomorrow's (25 September 2023) nightly master build. Just to be safe, can anyone also test with both Skia settings on Windows and Linux?

On Windows I can confirm this works with both Vulkan and Raster.
