Who are the correct people to report issues with the incorrect display
of SVG images? I've encountered the problem with:
* Document Viewer
* LibreOffice Write, Calc, Impress, Draw
* GIMP
The different programs screw up in different ways. LibreOffice Write
can't handle an SVG image with scrunched type. Calc, Impress, and Draw
bungle lines with arrows.
Gimp almost gets it right; like Calc/Impress/Draw, it bungles arrows.
Chrome only messes up with color on arrows.
Firefox? Gets it right. Surprise.
The SVG image was created in InkScape 1.3.2 on Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS (Focal
Fossa). if anyone wants the .svg file in question, just ask.
As an Ubuntu Developer, **no, please do not file upstream bugs for
software from the official Ubuntu repos.** Ubuntu ships older versions
of software than upstream, and upstreams are known for getting upset
when people report distro package bugs to them. You can report these
bugs using the `ubuntu-bug` tool, which will report it on Launchpad. The
Ubuntu devs can then determine if the bug needs to be forwarded upstream
or not.
It is a good idea to file bugs though, so thank you for suggesting that.
Just need to make sure the bugs are reported to the right place.
And so I have, filed an Ubuntu bug on "gos", which is the package for
image viewer. I've also documented what I found with other packages; do
what you will with the report.
In the process, I found there is an interesting problem in Inkscape as
to how it manages text. Not wrong, just weird. Why scale text height
unnecessarily? Not Ubuntu's problem, I downloaded InkScape directly
from their web site, although I see the Ubuntu has now caught up with
the most current version.
