--- Comment #8 from Dave Gilbert <[email protected]> ---
Right, so there's a few things going on
 a) Stuart: I agree with Eyal - please stop with that!  Something gentler along
the lines of 'Libreoffices PDF editing is still a bit limited, you might like
to try the Pdfium based image insert flow, but thanks for reporting it.' would
be nicer!
 b) The actual clipping I fixed a lot of back in ~August - see
b416c5b8e32632a63e1e791c34896e17d89f7982
 c) The 1st problem is that the input filter doesn't implement any shaded
fills; so it falls back to Poppler's internal code which chops it up into thin
poloygons.
   c1) These appears to be PDF 'axial fill's - i.e. what we would call a
gradient fill - that's actually fixable, I just haven't implemented it yet;
I've also not checked if all PDF axial fills are representable in LO

 d) There's something else going on - I think somewhere in the rendering stack
but I'm not sure where; I don't understand why it looks worse as you zoom in;
sure I expect to see the individual polygons - so I expect to see jaggyness -
but when you zoom in you see the colour of each polygon being non-uniform (like
dark-light) which makes the jaggies look even worse.

So I think this is a valid bug and is 'implement axial fills' for (c) - if you
know anyone with an idea about what's going on in the jaggyness who can point
to (d) that would be good.
