Bug 42692

The bug is still in LibreOffice 3.4.4 (Windows/XP).

I see the bug in LO3.5Beta3 on WinXP too.

*** Bug 43129 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

[Reproducible] with "LibreOffice Portable 3.3.0  - WIN7  Home Premium (64bit) German UI [OOO330m19 (Build:6) tag libreoffice-3.3.0.4]", too.

Back to list due to facts

Test Kit

Attached you find a test kit. Steps to reproduce:
1. open "source.odg"
2. <control+a>
3. Menu 'File -> Export -> Selection -> Filetype .SVG - Name="MySVG.svg" -> 
   <Save>
   > MySVG.svg" created
   Expected: only heating scheme visible
   Actual: all Page even with hidden contents visible
4. For comparison redo step 3, but export to .png
   > Export to PNG will respect selected area

So Inhterited from OOo, I modify OS due to AOOo bug without own tests.

@Regina:
Thank you for research

I can confirm the problem in Version 

- 4.0.3.3 (Build ID: 0eaa50a932c8f2199a615e1eb30f7ac74279539)
- 3.6.6.2 (Build ID: f969faf)

for XP prof / SP3

I followed the procedure as Rainer described it in Comment 6 including the png test. However in my case the png-export also resulted in the export of the entire page.

There is also a discussion thread in AskLibO http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/18611/what-is-the-best-way-to-draw-in-libreoffice-that/?comment=18701#comment-18701

Still present in 4.0.5.2. Close to celebrate the two years anniversary of this bug ;-)

Or eight years from https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=56084

Still present in 4.1.3...

Can we raise the importance (as done), because SVG is the only vector format Writer understands that can handle transparent colors. (I don't want to use PNG to import the stuff in Writer).

Yes, this is sort of pathetic.  Over two years.  

I just opened a similar support ticket with EazyDraw (to allow that app to export just the selected items to SVG) and it was done in 2 *days*.  Sadly, EazyDraw doesn't open .ODG files.

I would be happy to send a Mozilla Firefox sweatshirt to whoever closes this bug --- we're using LibreOffice Draw to create diagrams for the new Software Carpentry teaching materials (http://software-carpentry.org), and having to export SVG, load that into Inkscape, open document properties, resize the page to fit the image, then re-save is painful and error-prone.  Please mail greg [at] mozillafoundation [dot] org to claim your shirt :-)

This bug is still present in LibreOffice 4.1.6.2.
