Dear Ubuntu Developers, I am an end user scientist of Ubuntu at the University of Helsinki, Finland. We use the FigTree program (figtree, graphical phylogenetic tree viewer) for our work and we install it from the Ubuntu repositories (Science, universe). We published recently some of our findings, mentioning that we used FigTree for the visualization ( https://doi.org/10.1007/s10456-023-09874-9). However, we always needed to export to PDF and then convert to SVG to do our work because the direct export to SVG always failed. However, we know that the GitHub code of the same 1.4.4 version works when downloaded directly from GitHub. Therefore it should be possible to fix the Ubuntu package. I also do not know whether the issue still exists in the newer packages. We are always staying on the latest stable LTS (atm 22.04), because our projects stretch over many years and changing major version numbers has been a problem in the past...
Can't really tell. But the Debian/Ubuntu version of figtree (version 1.4.4-5) does include a few patches, and if you have found that that version does not work while the upstream github code works, the best way to report the issue is via a Debian bug:
