ODT document containing a WMF image exhibiting the bug

In the attached ODT document, the WMF image is not rendered correctly in LibreOffice 4.4.2: black squares hide most of its contents. It looks like the transparent background of some elements is incorrectly drawn in black.

This is a regression introduced between LO 4.0.0, where the image is rendered correctly, and 4.1.5, where the current situation was already present.

This happens on both Mac OS X and Linux. It also affects .docx documents. I've tried setting EMF_PLUS_DISABLE=1, with no effect.

Comment 6 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2016-01-20 17:33:32 UTC
Quick check: The bitmaps with the WMF are imported correctly. Painting these adds them to a Metafile twice with RasterOp's R2_XORPEN and R2_COPYPEN, see WinMtfOutput::ResolveBitmapActions. This may be problematic - we are not good with xor stuff ;-(
Need to check deeper...
Comment 7 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2016-01-21 10:56:18 UTC
Indeed, RasterOp ROP_XOR makes problems. Looks as if it is not correctly handled throughout the paint layer. It is converted to primtive (InvertPrimitive2D which is a grouping primitive), but the masking buffers and evtl. the paint to DirectDraw on Win may not use it, checking...
Comment 8 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2016-01-21 11:11:56 UTC
Just checked, already happens in LO4.4.7.1, saw that this is the case since 2013, I thought this is more current. Checked LO4.0.6.2, looks good there (just by ignoring these actions and not handling them, what do they do then...?)
Comment 9 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2016-01-21 12:46:25 UTC
Very strange - teh isolated wmf shows the diagram, but with shadow. When looking at the read Bitmaps these are all-black, 24bit, no alpha. Independent from painting, there may be something wrong with DIB import.
Comment 10 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2016-01-21 13:50:30 UTC
Found that indeed for EMR_ALPHABLEND the MS docu at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc230613.aspx defines alpha possibilities for the to-be-loaded bitmap which the implementation of EMR_ALPHABLEND does not support. It creates a temp file to be able to use ReadDIB which itself is not capable of reading alpha.
This means that the whole old patch is not complete and only works when BLENDFUNCTION AlphaFormat is 0x00 and SrcConstantAlpha is 0xff (which means to copy the bitmap).
I checked with the bugdoc and it contains alpha data which is not read. Adding stuff to read it is not easy (best chance is to create a temp file to use ReadDIBV5 I would guess).
Comment 11 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2016-01-22 08:24:59 UTC
Can read bitmaps with alpha now, but their usage in WinMtfOutput::ImplDrawBitmap modifies tham due to mbComplexClip being set. That sets them full black again since only mask is used, no alpha support.
Comment 12 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2016-01-22 10:52:36 UTC
Had to check/adapt the display pipeline to not lose the imported Mask/Alpha information. Adapted WinMtfOutput::ImplDrawBitmap to take Alpha into account when blending against complex clip regions.
The display chain imports WMF as Metafile, that gets converted to Primitives. If WMF import would create Primitives in the 1st place blendigs like that would be more simple (could be expressed as clipping/Mask) and more original data could be preserved.
Comment 13 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2016-01-25 08:56:28 UTC
1st version put to gerrit

Comment 15 Milan Bouchet-Valat 2016-01-29 12:54:33 UTC
Thanks! How likely is this to be backported to 5.1.x?
Comment 16 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2016-01-29 13:18:46 UTC
Also now shows the missing shadows of the graphic...
Comment 17 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2016-02-02 13:22:39 UTC
Can someone comment on backporting? Technically should be no problem, +1 from my side.
Comment 18 Caolán McNamara 2016-02-02 15:44:43 UTC
Typically its up to who ever fixes it to decide if to backport or not (and to do the mechanics of it). In this case I did it myself and submitted to gerrit as https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/22053/ (gerrit then adds the original author on CC by default)

verified. Version: 5.4.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: febc116

the wmf image is rendered correctly without any black squares.
