Description Palmer G. Pattison 2016-11-28 10:16:35 UTC
Created attachment 1225226 [details]
screen grabs demonstrating Inkscape SIF bug

Description of problem:
After upgrading to Fedora 25, vector images are corrupted when saving Inkscape SVG files as SIF files and then opening them in Synfig Studio. This problem did not exist in Fedora 24.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
inkscape-0.92-5.pre2.fc25.x86_64
synfigstudio-1.1.10-0.2016gitd4e547.fc25.x86_64
(These are both pre-release versions from the F25 repo, but the problem persists after manually installing known-good stable versions of both applications. F24 included stable versions of both applications and did not have this problem.)

How reproducible:
Happens reliably, especially where type is involved (even after the type has been converted to paths)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a vector image in Inkscape. Images with type are more likely to experience trouble.
2. Save Inkscape document as SIF file.
3. Open SIF file in Synfig Studio.

Actual results:
Vector images look different from what was generated in Inkscape.

Expected results:
Vector images should look the same in Synfig Studio as they do in Inkscape.

Additional info:

Comment 1 Gwyn Ciesla 2016-11-28 17:38:11 UTC
Does using the known good stable version for either application help, in other words, does this bug only exist with the combination of the two updated versions?

Comment 2 Palmer G. Pattison 2016-11-28 19:36:17 UTC
Please see original report: "...the problem persists after manually installing known-good stable versions of both applications."

Comment 3 Gwyn Ciesla 2016-11-28 19:38:46 UTC
Ah, in other words, all available versions?  I just build inkscape 0.92pre3, see if that helps.

Comment 4 Palmer G. Pattison 2016-11-28 21:39:26 UTC
No change in behavior. :(

Comment 5 Palmer G. Pattison 2016-11-28 21:42:02 UTC
By the way, you can download this sample file for testing.

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2017-11-16 19:15:51 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '25'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 8 Fedora End Of Life 2017-12-12 10:12:58 UTC
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
