Description Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2016-02-08 16:04:44 UTC
Steps:
1) Open Writer
2) Insert https://dev.w3.org/SVG/tools/svgweb/samples/svg-files/image.svg
3) Notice that no image loads in the blue square.

The SVG code for the image is as follows.

<image ... x="50" y="150" width="500" height="500" xlink:href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/234/535566372_33c1025c7b_o.jpg"/>

LibreOffice 3.3 (inherited from OOo)

I can confirm. Is this an enhancement request or a bug? Do we have release notes somewhere that say that this is possible?

Marking as:
New
Minor - can slow down but won't prevent high quality work (can download the image and insert it)
Low - No proof of regression

Updating version field as well.

Seems the <image> tag is supported, but it wont load online images through the tag.

Another example - https://dev.w3.org/SVG/tools/svgweb/samples/svg-files/oscon.svg

Not sure whether this should be considered a bug report or an enhancement. We do load online images when they are embedded into a doc or html file in LO. Not sure if they intentionally left this feature out due to security.

@Xisco: What is your take on this?

Just to let you know that the SVG implementation code we currently use was implemented in LO 4.0, while 3.3 to 3.6 had a different SVG implementation.

Definitely interesting. I suppose one of two things are appropriate:

1) Leave as is since it never worked;
2) Change to 4.0 and add "implementationError" to keywords.

I personally don't have strong feelings either way.

Dear Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired),

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
