Description Laurent BP 2011-05-11 08:11:18 UTC

To reproduce :
- in any module, draw a shape with area filled as gradient
- choose a non-symmetric, for instance gradient #3
- copy
- special paste > metafile GDI
=> the gradient is deformed : start of the gradient seems to be in the middle of shape.

Test of different gradients

Test file built with LibO 3.3.2 to compare view of original shape and pasted shape as GDI metafile.

View of TestGradient.odt file in LibreOffice 3.3.2: both columns are almost similar

View of TstGradient.odt file in LibreOffice 3.4.0 beta 4: some gradients are very different.

Reproducible] with "LibreOffice 3.4Beta4  – WIN7  Home Premium  (64bit) German UI [DEV300m103 (Build:4)]".

64 bit AMD Phenom II X4 955 Processor 3.2 GHz, 4GB RAM, 
Graphic Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 430
 
It's "Writer only" for me, no problem in DRAW and CALC

Effect is visible when I copy a shape with particular gradients from DRAW and paste it to WRITER as GDI

Also Copy / paste as bitmap is affected.

@Laurent BP
Your Platform / OS is?

@Cédric: 
WRITER only, so it might be one for you?
Please feel free to reassign if it's not your area!

@Reiner: WinXP

Sorry for the "any module". I went too fast with my tests, and you are right: it is only "paste as GDI metafile" in Writer that is incorrect, whatever the module where the shape was built (Writer, Draw, Calc, Impress). But paste as GDI metafile works fine in Draw, Impress and Calc.

Actually I discovered the bug when pasting in Writer from Draw, that's why I incorrectly chose "Draw" as module.

Paste as Bitmap suffers from the same bug.

Same behavior in 3.4 beta5

Comment 7 Laurent BP 2011-12-26 13:35:56 UTC

Hello,

I can NOT reproduce with LibO 3.5b2. I supposed that Cedric solved it!

Comment 8 Michael Stahl 2012-03-21 13:49:44 UTC

so just tested this, and i can reproduce it on Linux on libreoffice-3-4,
but not on libreoffice-3-5 or master.

so thanks to the anonymous hacker that fixed it :)
