A snapshot of the problematic diagram as seen from LibreOffice Writer

Arrows imported from DOCX files seem to be positioned using a different angle reference.  In the attached file, the arrows were intended to point from one item to the next in logical order, but they are apparently mirrored around various axes.  Also, the body of the arrow pointing from station #4 to #n was meant to be constructed from a dashed line, but this style doesn't seem to apply in LibreOffice.

Hi John,
Thanks for the bug report!

Please
- Attach the DOCX file that's rendering incorrectly
- Attach a screenshot of how the file renders in Word
- And let us know what version of Word you're using

When that's done, please set the status back to 'UNCONFIRMED'.


Status -> NEEDINFO

See, that's the problem.  I do not have Word, and I recently lost access to the problematic file.  I know that the single image isn't much to work with, but I can tell you that in Word, the arrows are connected from image to image in clockwise formation, if that's any help.  I was hoping someone could do some troubleshooting.  But I can get the file and a screenshot to go with it, it might just be a week or so before I have it.

That's a good start. Having the file helps us just so that someone doesn't have to recreate it as a test case.

Sure -- this isn't a crashing bug, so there's no problem with punting on this for a couple of weeks. Whenever you get the file, just attach it and we can go from there.

Thanks!
