Hi,
Pdf export of Gradiented drawing object in Writer is incorrect.

Steps to reproduce -

(1) Create a new Writer document.

(2) Put some text in line 1 and line 3 or 4

(3) Insert LibreOffice OLE Drawing object in line 2.

(4) Draw two shapes with a connector connecting them.

(5) Change the fill of first shape with Hatching pattern and change its line style and color.

(6) Change the fill of second  shape with  Gradient color scheme and  change its  line  style and line  color.

(7) Change the line style of connector.

(8) Export the  Writer document as pdf file (With LO pdf export). You will  notice  the bounding box of gradiented shape is messed up in pdf file.

(9) Export the Writer document as  pdf  file (With Ghostscript). You will notice the bounding box  of gradiented shpae is messed up in pdf file.


I am including 3 source  files (in a  zip file) for verification.

Good Luck.

Tested in Windows 7 and printing to the primopdf pdf printer shows it incorrect compared to pdf export.

Printing to CUPS on Linux doesnt have the same problem.

On LibO 4.3 beta, it crashes after printing, though the print will come out.
Comment 3 Michael Stahl 2014-06-11 10:56:58 UTC
apparently this had the regression keyword added erroneously,
can reproduce it in LO 3.6.7 and OOo 3.3 already.
Comment 4 Jay Philips 2014-06-11 13:00:11 UTC
I added the regression and bibisectrequest related to the 4.3 beta 1 crash, but see its no longer there in 4.3 beta 2.

(This is an automated message.)

LibreOffice development currently prioritizes bugs with the so called MAB (most annoying bugs) -- as this bug has not run through that process (including writing a short rationale for this bug being a candidate and other who are watching the tracker bug silently approving that rationale etc.) its priority is set to high. Note this is effectively no change in the urgency assigned to this bug, as we are currently not making a difference between high and highest and severity is untouched.

You can find out more about MABs and how the process works by contacting libreoffice qa on irc:

The QA wiki page also gives you hints on how to get in contact with the team (if IRC fails you, your next best choice is the mailing list):
