Description Shimi Chen 2014-05-11 12:27:07 UTC
Created attachment 98842 [details]
An SVG file that is incorrectly imported.

Importing the attached SVG file used to show it properly in LibreOffice.
After the upgrade to 4.2.4.2, there is a regression and text is not displayed after the import.

On the left hand side you can see how the original SVG should look like and on the right the way it is imported on 4.2.4.2:

It worked fine on previous versions.
Operating System: Linux (Other)
Version: 4.2.4.2 rc
Last worked in: 4.2.3.3 release
Comment 1 Julien Nabet 2014-05-11 15:47:40 UTC
On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I can reproduce this.
I noticed that when using "File/Open", it's OK (or almost)
(could be expected since http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/About-Svgreader-td4107050.html)
Comment 2 Cor Nouws 2014-05-11 16:14:40 UTC
relation to bug 78557 ?
Comment 3 Antanas 2014-05-12 19:42:37 UTC
I confirm the issue. 
I was working on the ODT file with nicely inserted SVGs (created with UMLet) on LO 4.2.3.3. 
After upgrade to LO 4.2.4.2. most SVG elements (not only text) are gone.

I have the same issue. After upgrade from 4.2.3.3 to 4.2.4.2 all text from my imported svg files is missing.

Comment 8 Xisco Faulí 2014-06-04 16:07:36 UTC
This issue was introduced by 3b7472b284131c09d91b69f26d5d26d54648f939.
Reverting the commit fixes the problem. I'll try to contact the developer
Comment 9 Julien Nabet 2014-06-04 16:46:48 UTC
Xisco: following your last comment, I don't understand why bibisect didn't indicate this patch.

Tomaz: any idea?
Comment 10 Tomaz Vajngerl 2014-06-04 18:45:17 UTC
Meh.. this was supposed to workaround a infinite loop bug with some SVG files. Reverting this commit would not be wise.. so looks like I need to fix this issue.
Comment 11 Xisco Faulí 2014-06-05 08:58:53 UTC
Juliet, bibisect is correct and the commit is in the range 674801eb4af21c9ae83c122499f15fa4f4785b0f..5e651d4084df7662b56ea980934c0428ba31b062

Tomaz, I reverted it just to verify this was the problematic commit. I don't intend to revert it in master or so.
Comment 12 Julien Nabet 2014-06-05 09:12:34 UTC
Xisco: thanks for the feedback. The display is quite confusing I thought that Caolan's commit was wrong when reading.
(BTW, it's "Julien" not "Juliet" which is a girl name)

Comment 17 berff 2014-06-22 10:54:25 UTC
Confirmed with LibreOffice Draw 3.3.0 (as mentioned here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79650) as well as with 4.3.0rc1 on Linux x86-64. So this looks like it is inherited from OOo.

thanks Berff, one of the (I guess) many to fix svg-issues.

from https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80298

You can find this bug also in windows version

Since Libre Office 4.2.4 writer shows and prints inserted svg images wrong. All text disappears. Version 4.2.3.3 works fine though.

By making some experiments it seems that the problem (of win version at least) is connected to 
..\program\svgiolo.dll
If you replace it with the one from LiO 4.2.3.3 everything starts to work fine.

*** Bug 80291 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 22 Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2014-06-22 16:16:53 UTC
Decided to merge bug 80291 with this, as both Joel's and Xisco's bibisect resulted in finding the same commit, though this bug is about Drawing, which has quite poor SVG support, and bug 80291 is about Writer and embedding an SVG, which has better SVG support.

(In reply to comment #13)
> Fixed in 4.2.5.2

Bug 80291 still isnt fixed with 4.2.5.2.

(In reply to comment #17)
> See an similar issue I reported here:

Bug 80339 is regarding visible text that is in the wrong location.
Comment 23 Julien Nabet 2014-06-29 10:57:07 UTC
On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated yesterday, I can see the text now.
I wonder if it could be thanks to http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=533c6cb6bad6ef0432e8eebbfd4daf90ef71f3b4
Comment 24 Julien Nabet 2014-06-29 11:02:13 UTC
Argh! Forget about my previous comment, I had used file/open instead of insert image. Bug is still here :(

Seems to be working in daily builds of 4.2.7 and 4.3.1
Comment 32 klaus.welch 2014-09-02 11:41:36 UTC
For my setup (RHEL5.6, LO4.3.1.2) text does not disappear anymore.
=> issue seems fixed.

But https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82520 still exists
=> sdraw -> svg-export -> swriter -> svg-import is still an unusable flow :-(
