image showing the behavior

XP, LO Version 4.0.4.0+

text only works if there is no "flowed text frame"
(in Inkscape only clicking on the canvas and then typing will work)

Thanks (again ;-) ) for reporting.

I can reproduce this behavior using Linux Mint 15 x64 with LibreOffice 4.0.3.3 and LibreOffice Version: 4.2.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 66c315bcf2b78c4928d1e436d1a853f58f4cccd 

Kind regards,
Joren

Reproducible with LO 4.4.1.2 (Win 8.1):

Actually the rendering is correct at import time but not when opening.

Has anyone thought to check this Inkscape .svg file in a web browser window? I just did in Firefox 69.0b8 and Chromium 74.0.3729.157 (macOS 10.12.6) and I see the same behaviour as when inserted in a Writer document in LibreOffice 6.3.0.2 (RC2), i.e., only "working text" is rendered, "not working text" is invisible.

I opened the .svg in Inkscape 0.92.4 and it renders "correctly", both text boxes are visible and editable.

I'm thinking it's an Inkscape bug...?

See linked Inkscape FAQ.

Comment 15 Grey 2019-08-06 10:03:14 UTC
Never mind...found it and read it. What a mess.
