I've encountered the problem with:* Document Viewer * LibreOffice Write, Calc, Impress, Draw * GIMP The different programs screw up in different ways. LibreOffice Write can't handle an SVG image with scrunched type. Calc, Impress, and Draw bungle lines with arrows. Gimp almost gets it right; like Calc/Impress/Draw, it bungles arrows. Chrome only messes up with color on arrows. Firefox? Gets it right. Surprise. The SVG image was created in InkScape 1.3.2 on Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS (Focal Fossa). if anyone wants the .svg file in question, just ask.`apt-cache show <package>` will usually provide the maintainer contact information. For example: $ apt-cache show gimp Package: gimp Architecture: amd64 Version: 2.10.30-1ubuntu0.1 Priority: optional Section: universe/graphics Origin: Ubuntu Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com> Original-Maintainer: Debian GNOME Maintainers <pkg-gnome-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org> Bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug ... However, it is usually a good idea to file a bug upstream, too. So you would file a bug with GIMP at <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues>, and then reference the bug in the Launchpad bug. Finally, the Ubuntu maintainers can wait for the upstream fix.
As an Ubuntu Developer, **no, please do not file upstream bugs for software from the official Ubuntu repos.** Ubuntu ships older versions of software than upstream, and upstreams are known for getting upset when people report distro package bugs to them. You can report these bugs using the `ubuntu-bug` tool, which will report it on Launchpad. The Ubuntu devs can then determine if the bug needs to be forwarded upstream or not.
It is a good idea to file bugs though, so thank you for suggesting that. Just need to make sure the bugs are reported to the right place.
