Description Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2014-06-09 23:28:02 UTC

Created attachment 100775 [details]
some letters on the book of the shield have filled enclosures.

In attachment 78926 [details] from bug 64549, i noticed a regression in the lettering on the shield of the attached file from 4.1.6 to 4.2.4 or 4.3 beta 2. Tested on Linux Mint.

Confirmed:

Ubuntu 14.04 x 64
LibreOffice Master
Date of Build: Fri Jun 6 21:27:52 2014 +0100

Note that before the nipple on the breast did not show - now that shows but the letters render poorly (P and D) - likely related I think

Comment 2 Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2014-06-10 02:52:17 UTC

in addition to the nipple showing in 4.2, the mermaid has a lower lip, more scales on the tale, and a belly button. the poorly rendered letters are A, R, and D, not P (joel must have been so mesmerized by the nipple).

Comment 3 Michael Stahl (allotropia) 2014-06-10 22:05:29 UTC

4.2.0.4 had *both* nipple and proper letters ... up to 4.2.3.3.

ah looks like this one did it:

    fdo#74743 avoid infinite loop when gathering "svg" element styles

Comment 4 Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2014-06-10 23:38:46 UTC

Adding bfoman and jorendc as the nipple saga continues. Two guys so consumed about the title of the previous bug report to actually check if the nipple was there or not. You guys crack me up. :)

Glad you were able to track it down so quickly Michael. You seem to be on a role today as i've gotten alot of emails from you to many triaged bugs. :)
