Diagramm with one dashed line.

The dashed line has more dashes in LibreOffice 4.0.3.3 than in Visio.

This bug has been verified with Windows and Linux.

Reproducible with 4.1.0.4 under Win7x64.

Also note that largest circle at the line end is misaligned (it should be aligned to center of vertical line).

Please also note that the misalinged circile is large, in fact too large. It seems that it should be of the same size as the other smaller circiles.

On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated yesterday, I reproduced the problem.
Just several times this log:
warn:legacy.osl:14827:1:svx/source/sdr/contact/viewcontactofsdrpathobj.cxx:67: PolyPolygon object without geometry detected, this should not be created (!)

Citing from comment #4: "Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (5.0.4 or later)"

I understand that it might be confusing to see such differences between visio rendering and LO rendering. But...
Visio does not scale the line patterns, so if you scale the whole shape, the line pattern will be the same with the same length of gap and of dash. In ODF, the dashes are scaled with the shape.
There are these little conceptual differences that are preventing us from having the conversion result 100% visually equivalent. That is the life :(
Closing as WONTFIX, because there is no way to fix it reasonably
Comment 11 m_josenhans 2015-12-30 21:49:17 UTC
Thank you for the calrification. So it is an ODF issue? 
Is it worth for ODF Standardization to make ODF more generic to add scale attributes to have better compatiblity with Visio etc.?
