Created attachment 190791 [details] Comparison of curved connector with Bézier curve The attached file has a connector between the two rectangles. This connector was copied and converted to a Bézier curve. Connector and Bézier curve should produce the same svg:viewBox and svg:d attributes in file markup (besides +- rounding differences). But you get for the connector: svg:d="M7000 7000c0-3001 8000-5501 8000 5000" svg:viewBox="0 0 8001 7609" and for the Bézier curve: svg:viewBox="0 0 8000 7608" svg:d="M0 2608c0-3001 8000-5501 8000 5000" The coordinates (0|2608] in the M command of the Bézier curve are correct, the coordinates (7000|7000) in the M command of the connector curve are wrong. Currently it has no large consequences, because LibreOffice recreates the connector curve from the connection points ins svg:x1, svg:y1, svg:x2 and svg:y2. But it will become a problem, if we start to use the svg:d attribute to decide whether the curve form was created to be compatible with the OOXML definitions or follow the LO way.
Thanks Regina. I can see the different svg:d values in the sample file for connector vs path. In OOo 3.3, the coordinates would differ but the path would have a viewbox whereas the connector wouldn't: Connector: svg:d="m8000 14000c0-2250 9500-750 9500-3000" Path: svg:d="m0 3000c0-2250 9500-750 9500-3000" svg:viewBox="0 0 9500 3000"
Dear Regina Henschel, 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
The error still exists in Version: 26.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 620(Build:0) CPU threads: 32; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (build 26100); UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
I checked the issue on Windows 11 Pro using LibreOffice Version 26.2.0.0.alpha1+ beta (X86_64) Connector (ConnectorShape) starts at M 8000,7125. After converting to a curve (OpenBezierShape), start point is M 8000,5250. These coordinates make sense: the connector connects shapes, the curve is a converted copy, so their start points differ. Extra points appearing after conversion are normal Bézier handles—expected behavior, not a bug. viewBox dimensions match, any tiny differences are just rounding. Bottom line: The bug is not reproduced. Conversion to curve works as intended.

I disagree. The svg:d path in the connector is provided for those consumers, that are not capable of computing a connector path. Thus this attribute needs to describe the path so as if it is a Bezier curve.
