Priority: medium
Bug ID: 70210
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: FILEOPEN, FILESAVE, REGRESSION: draw and impress do
not save/load connector skew properly
Severity: major
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.1.2.3 rc
Component: Presentation
Product: LibreOffice
Created attachment 87208
--> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=87208&action=edit
Sample document to demonstrate the issue
When saving/loadinig a presentation/drawing with connectors, all the connectors
skews are lost. Older documents with connectors formatted with line skew are
corrupted by losing the connector formatting in load/save/load cycle.
To demo the issue:
1) Load the attached document test.odp
2) Right click on the lower connector and open the connector properties. See
that all the line skews are at 0.
3) Change the line skews, so that for line 1 it is 1cm and for line 3 it is
-0.60 cm
4) Save the document
5) Reload the document and visually see that the connector line skews have
changed
6) Right click on the lower connector and open the connector properties. See
that all the line skews have been reset at 0.
To me, this is a major issue:
1) Means that draw/impress cannot be used anymore to draw block diagrams and
flow charts properly
2) Means that libreoffice now corrupts drawings/presentations in load/save/load
cycle
3) Means that all older docs when opened with newer libreoffice and resaved get
corrupted and lose connector formatting
I'm rather sure that openoffice in the past used to manage connector skews
properly. Probably also past versions of libreoffice did it right, so this is
definitely a regression. However I would not be able to say which versions of
openoffice/libreoffice were correct.
In any case, this is a regression shared also by openoffice 4.0. Maybe it was
'imported' together with changes introduced with openoffice 4.
The bug is seen in Linux on an X86-64 Kubuntu raring machine, with libreoffice
packages downloaded from the libreoffice site. But probably the bug applies to
all hardware platforms and OSs.
