Description FreeDesktop Bugzilla Database Corruption Fix User 2005-08-13 06:04:13 UTC

There are a great many SVG files in the collection in which the 'xml:space'
attribute has been changed to 'space'. This can cause text to be rendered in the
wrong position.

Fixing this should be fairly straightforward, as it's just a matter of changing
all 'space' attributes to 'xml:space'. There is no 'space' attribute in SVG, so
this shouldn't have any unwanted side effect. However, to be safe it would be a
good idea to make the change only if the value of the attribute is "preserve" or
"default" - other values should not occur, and can be reported as errors. 

But there's not much point in fixing these files until the bug that is causing
the damage has been fixed. This bug is presumably in SVG::Metadata. The problem
first appeared in release 0.13.

The 'xml' prefix is special in that XML files can use it without defining it,
since it's always implicitly bound to "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace".
The bug is probably related to this.

Looks like this one too lost its content in the RAID failure.  I shall attempt
to restore it from my mail archives...

Mass reopen.  The "LATER" resolution is lame, I'm deleting it.  Consider LATER to have arrived.

Closing all openclipart bugs as openclipart is now on launchpad, as per request from  Jon Philips.
