Description Mark Weiman 2015-09-27 05:35:36 UTC
Created attachment 119063 [details]
exported pdf

When exporting a document with an image with text, the text displays backwards.

This happens on all operating systems attempted on (Windows and Linux) and happens on both x86 and x86_64.  It also has been present in version 4.x as well as 5.x.

Attached is the exported pdf.

Repro.

Severity: normal as PDF printing is a workaround.

Win 7 Pro 64-bit, Version: 5.0.2.2 (x64)
Build ID: 37b43f919e4de5eeaca9b9755ed688758a8251fe
Locale: fi-FI (fi_FI)
Comment 3 Mark Weiman 2015-09-28 15:11:49 UTC
I should have been more clear in the last comment I made, but it is in the title.

This affects printing too, so printing to a PDF doesn't work either.  If it's still not a major bug after knowing this, then change it, but if there's no way to save it through Writer to make it printable or exportable without issue, I consider it a major bug.
Comment 4 Mark Weiman 2015-09-28 15:14:47 UTC
I'm also going to change it to Linux, but this does happen in Windows too.  This is because it seems that a Windows 6.1 user *seems to* have no issues printing to a PDF.  Here's some information on my version...

Version: 5.0.1.2.0+
Build ID: 5.0.1.2 Arch Linux build-1
Locale: en-US (en_US.utf8)

Normal per https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/0/06/Prioritizing_Bugs_Flowchart.jpg
I reproduced the export problem so let's keep it as All.

Repro in 5.4 but not in 6.0 beta and master 6.1+.
Mark, thanks for reporting and following your bug.
But please test also with master.
