testcase drawing

When trying to edit an odt-document generated by inkscape, it is not possible to add an arrow to both ends of a line. While an arrow will show up at the right end, no arrow is added at the left.

I've created a screencast to illustrate the issue: http://youtu.be/sMxke7sFTlw

I can confirm this all the way back to 3.5.4 using bibisect so updating version as version is the oldest confirmed version.

There is a workaround (you can just add an arrow to the end of the line and adjust the size as needed). Strange thing is when you format the arrow it always shows it as the right side arrow, it seems like the entire left side arrow is non functional and maybe never was.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I have been able to confirm the issue on:
Platform: Bodhi Linux 2.2 x64
Bibisect: Earliest version (3.5.4)

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
As I've been able to confirm this problem I am marking as:

New (confirmed)
Normal - despite having a workaround having the entire feature unuable seems quite bad.
High - see above :)


cc'ing Thorsten - Thorsten - this one seems quite strange so wanted to get you involved. Left arrow is essentially "just for show"

ODT is an open standard, so if the file generated by inkscape is valid, LibreOffice should be able to cope with it. Otherwise ODT is no better then Microsoft's OXML which also has only one reference implementation (MS Office).

if? Who can check its validity?

I tried today create odt in Inkscape 0.92.3. It just didn't save file in odt format.

Dear Clemens Eisserer,

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
