Description Juan Moreno 2013-02-15 16:37:25 UTC
Problem description: When a document with a fontwork is opened the "fontwork" is missing. 

Steps to reproduce:
1. ....Create a new document with a fontwork
2. ....Save the file and close it
3. ....Open the file, the fontwork is missing

Current behavior: Fontwork disappears

Expected behavior: Fontwork doesn't disappear

              
Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 4.0.0.3 release
Comment 1 Juan Moreno 2013-02-15 17:16:02 UTC
The same problem happens on win7 64 bits and Ubuntu 12.10 64 bits

Thank you for reporthing this bug,
I can reporduce this bug running LibreOffice 4.0.0.3 on Windows 7.

Comment 5 Jorendc 2013-02-16 20:35:44 UTC
I can confirm this behavior using LibreOffice Version 4.1.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID: c16e9f4ed97f65357e9986f46ad88ee9f223799) with Linux Mint 14 x64.
Comment 6 Toni Ballesta 2013-03-13 08:59:50 UTC
I confirm that the issue is the same on newer LO 4.0.1.2 release, compiled on Gentoo amd64.
Comment 7 Toni Ballesta 2013-03-13 09:16:07 UTC
Returning to binary package version 3.6.4.3 for Gentoo, and the same document, without problems. The fontwork is saved and restored ok.

Version 4.0.1.2 (Build ID: 400m0(Build:2))

save as .odt and fontwork disappears
save as .docx and fontwork disappears
BUT
save as .doc and fontwork is still there... 
at least for me.
Comment 10 Miklos Vajna 2013-03-22 16:07:46 UTC
Confirmed what is in comment 7, so it's a regression.
Comment 11 Miklos Vajna 2013-03-25 14:25:30 UTC
So it turns out the 4-0 branch-off was still OK; however latest 4-0 doesn't export the shape. Bisect says:

commit 75118d2f9ebdf96250d3a4c78b695085c3527e4e
Author: David Tardon <dtardon@redhat.com>
Date:   Tue Dec 18 15:24:28 2012 +0100

    fdo#56267, fdo#56980 propagate shape change to subclasses
    
    It turns out (as witnessed by fdo#56267) that my fix for fdo#56980 only
    cured the symptom, not the cause. The real problem is caused by the
    following sequence of events during ODF import:
    
    1) an SvxCustomShape object is created (XShape iface)
    2) an SdrObjCustomShape object is created for the SvxCustomShape, but it
       is not associated with it (yet)
    3) another SvxCustomShape object is created internally by the
       SdrObjCustomShape and they are associated
    4) an EnhancedCustomShapeEngine is created for this SvxCustomShape by
       SdrObjCustomShape
    5) the SvxCustomShape from point 1 is set to the SdrObjCustomShape
    
    At some point (I did not follow this explicitly) the SvxCustomShape
    cached by the EnhancedCustomShapeEngine loses its (weak) reference to
    the SdrObjCustomShape. This leaves it gutted and all subsequent calls to
    render() return an empty XShape.
    
    The solution is simple: let SdrObjCustomShape know that the associated
    UNO shape has changed, so it can drop the custom shape engine.

Comment 14 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2013-04-18 18:02:50 UTC
@all:
May I remind you to keep Summaries up to date? It's a little difference whether the object becomes lost during filesave and fileopen, and queries for DUPs are more promising if the summaries are correct.

oval.doc

This bug also affects .doc files containing shapes

1. Open the attached oval.doc and admire the shape (a blue oval)
2. Save as oval.odt and close it
3. Open oval.odt and the blue oval is missing

This appears to be a symptom of the same bug because it is solved by reverting 75118d2f9ebdf96250d3a4c78b695085c3527e4e.

As per comment 9, saving as .doc is not affected by the issue.  I tested in 4.0.2.2 and git master.

Comment 19 Luke Deller 2013-04-27 20:59:54 UTC
This problem occurs because:
- SdrObject::getUnoShape() constructs a UNO shape object using the associated page object (SdrObject::pPage)
- Shapes in Writer use page object of class SwXDrawPage which creats UNO shape objects with the class SwXShape, which implements both XShape and XTextContent interfaces
- In this bug, SdrObject::getUnoShape() is called earlier than SdrObject::SetPage(), so the UNO shape object is created with the class SvxShape which does not implement the XTextContent interface, so it is skipped when outputting the odt text document

I think the proper solution is to invalidate the cached UNO shape object in SdrObject::SetPage

Regarding the line in SdrObjCustomShape::InvalidateRenderGeometry to set mxCustomShapeEngine = 0L:
- added by David in commit 76350361f386b78e1bc9edb75af89e7ff3afe356 which introduced crash bug fdo#58267
- removed by David in commit 75118d2f9ebdf96250d3a4c78b695085c3527e4e which introduced the bug in this item (fdo#60910)
- readded by my own commit for this item
- no longer causes the crash analysed in fdo#58267 due to David's commit 31b93b8600a3e219d33173aa68d9ab570e477e50

This line prevents the present bug because the custom shape engine is the only object holding a strong reference to the UNO shape object, so when it is destroyed the UNO shape object will be destroyed too.

I am going to submit another patch to remove this line again as it invalidates the shape more often than needed, in favour of a change to clear the UNO shape when SdrObject::SetPage is called.

Right. That is where I got with my analysis too.

This indeed sounds like it should work. It can still cause more invalidating than necessary (e.g., when moving an object to another page in the same document, or when copying an object to a different document of the same type), but I do not think that matters much.

1. ....Create a new document with a fontwork
2. ....Save the file (ODT) and close it
3. ....Open the file, the fontwork is missing

Current behavior: Fontwork disappears

Expected behavior: Fontwork doesn't disappear

Does the version need to be changed so it shows up in the 'all reported bugs'

The most recent breakage of saving fontworks seems to have occurred at the below commit.
(it's in the middle of a build breakage, so tested by cherry-picking onto 1cdb723b27d7359097891c7c370264c9974079db)

    Assume that as long as the model is the same, the shape doesn't change.
    
    Even if it is moved from not a page to a page or vice-versa.
    This allows assumptions made in the Base Form wizard to hold,
    namely that if one:
    1) Creates controls (and their associated shapes)
    2) Groups the shapes (in a GroupShape)
    Then all the shapes still remember their associated control
    and vice-versa.

test for what the fix should not regress

David Tardon? This is https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/13559 biting us back. I prepared a test in Basic of the issue that my commit was supposed to fix, here it is.

Since this is your area, could you please take a look at this, and try to see how we can solve this without breaking neither fontworks, nor the attached code?

Or Luke, if you have an idea?

Thanks!
Comment 36 Lionel Elie Mamane 2015-02-12 22:29:13 UTC
Note that the test runs successfully in LibreOffice 3.5.4.2, so breaking it is a regression.
Comment 37 David Tardon 2015-02-13 08:59:59 UTC
dtardon->lionel: Could you create a new bug for the Basic problem? The immediate fix for this one is to revert the problematic commit (like I said in the review).
