rectangle with text from PP2013

Open the attached document and save it in .odp format. Inspect the file and notice the attribute svg:viewBox="0 0 0 0" in the enhanced geometry. Width and height in zero are wrong. This error gives wrong rendering by other consumers. https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124452

It is fixed now.

The mentioned patch was abandoned, so it is not the reason for the fixed behavior.

I have tested it in Version: 5.3.0.0.alpha0+

Regina, how look this bug for user? What is wrong?
I tried to make export to SVG from ODP, just reopen ODP -> rectangle with orange text looks fine in both case.

> Regina, how look this bug for user? What is wrong?

Apache OpenOffice will not render the shape. I have not tested Google Docs or other applications.

SVG is very clear about value zero, "A negative value for <width> or <height> is an error (see Error processing). A value of zero disables rendering of the element." ["https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/coords.html#ViewBoxAttribute] So Apache OpenOffice is right here.

svg-export does not use the svg:viewBox information.


If you remove the invalid attribute sub-view-size (bug 105603), then it is rendered false in LibreOffice too. So LibreOffice produces documents which will become problematic when other bugs are fixed.
Comment 12 Regina Henschel 2018-12-28 17:36:44 UTC
This wrong attribute is written because the fix for bug 72998 forces viewBox to "0 0 0 0".
Comment 13 Aron Budea 2018-12-28 20:11:10 UTC
Apparently this started earlier, here are the results from different LO versions, both for custom shape "Rechteck 1":

In 3.5.0.3:
<draw:enhanced-geometry draw:mirror-horizontal="false" draw:mirror-vertical="false" draw:text-areas="0 0 ?f3 ?f2" svg:viewBox="0 0 0 0" draw:type="ooxml-rect" draw:enhanced-path="M 0 0 L ?f3 0 ?f3 ?f2 0 ?f2 Z N">

In 3.4.0.1:
<draw:enhanced-geometry svg:viewBox="0 0 21600 21600" draw:type="rectangle" draw:enhanced-path="M 0 0 L 21600 0 21600 21600 0 21600 0 0 Z N"/>

After one of the commits in the following range (bibisected using repo bibisect-43all), svg:viewBox isn't exported anymore:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/?qt=range&q=e5f71ca7c27259360a401d94ed6a53038608b941..73ec894e0d5aea6f8462c2e42d064c317d4a82ec

Then after a commit in this range, zeros are exported:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/?qt=range&q=1ca547d20882e9b3d3ba9a6c7ee0340a5b7009b0..97453f1eabb473d0691e41153eff2ac92e88a302
Comment 14 Aron Budea 2018-12-28 20:13:28 UTC
Both ranges contain a couple of commits related to custom shapes by Radek Doulik, likely one of them is the cause in each range.

On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I added a trace log at this very location and nothing on console so it's not due to https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=beba4603ee8e603fff2599bee7f157d90872cb99

Shape with custGeom

Try it with a shape with custGeom (draw:type="ooxml-non-primitive") and comment out the lines 240, 241 in  CustomShapeProperties::pushToPropSet() in customshapeproperties.cxx, then you get a proper svg:viewBox. With active lines you get svg:viewBox="0 0 0 0". It might be not the only reason, but it is at least related.

To get a custGeom in PowerPoint without editing the file itself, draw two of the preset shapes and combine them, for example. To combine them, select both shapes, then in "Drawing Tools" in section "Insert Shapes" the drop-down "Merge Shapes", item "Combine".
Comment 17 Regina Henschel 2020-06-13 14:03:13 UTC
LibreOffice uses svg:viewBox="0 0 0 0" to indicate, that the shape has w= and/or h= attributes in <path> element in OOXML. In this case for ODP the attribute drawooo:sub-view-size is written. But this attribute has not even an OASIS issue.

When an OASIS issue is written for "sub-view-size", then the special meaning for this svg:viewBox value has to be included in the issue.
