Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 119296
Problem in SVG Export: gradient appears instead of a shape

Created attachment 77500 [details] Export to SVG from 3.3.0 and 3.4; export in 3.3.0 works much better. OpenOffice 3.4-RC does not export the attached ODG file to SVG properly. Regression with respect to version 3.3.0. To reproduce: 1. Open the attached ODG file in OpenOffice 3.4-RC. 2. Export to SVG. 3. Open the exported SVG in Draw: a big gradient appears where the monument shape was showing. If the export in steps 1-2 is done with OpenOffice 3.3.0, the SVG file can be imported in 3.4-RC and the problem does not appear. It is an export problem because other programs, like Inkscape and Firefox, have the same behavior on import (i.e., they display the SVG exported by 3.4-RC with the error, while they display the SVG exported by 3.3.0 correctly).

The versions OOo3.3 and AOO3.4 are not really comparable with respect to svg graphics. OOo3.3 imports the svg-document as bitmap picture and therefore exports it as picture embedded in an svg document. AOO3.4 imports the svg-document as svg-graphic. Nevertheless the export has errors. I'll attach an reduced example.
Created attachment 77501 [details] Container with document, import svg and export svg On export the Bezier path is correctly (besides changing from relative to absolute coordinates) exported as path, but the gradient filling is exported as rectangle image and not as linear gradient. In my opinion there are two bugs: (1) It is a linked svg-graphic, therefore the export should use the original svg information. (2) The gradient must be a linear gradient linked as filling and not an image.
