svg saved with gnumeric 1.10.17

In svg images the markers appear as pixels. Lines and labels are okay. This problem appeared after I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.10. Svg files that I saved with earlier versions still work fine.

I'm pretty sure this never worked.
Comment 3 Heye 2013-04-16 21:17:36 UTC
It did work, I've been successfully exporting charts as vector graphics for years, including the markers (see example attached).

Comment 5 Jean Bréfort 2013-04-17 05:55:06 UTC
You are right, but our code did not change since 2008! The issue is related to cairo actually. Which cairo version are you using?

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
However, this application does not track its bugs in the GNOME Bugzilla. We kindly ask you to report the bug to the application authors. For a selective list of other bug tracking systems please consult http://live.gnome.org/Bugsquad/TriageGuide/NonGnome.

If the affected third party application has a bug tracking system you should investigate whether a bug for the reported issue is already filed in this system. If it has not been filed yet please do so. Also ensure that both bug reports contain a link to each other.
Thanks in advance!

Not the above cairo bug, btw, this was another one. Not sure it is fixed in cairo.
Comment 7 Heye 2013-04-17 08:46:03 UTC
I'm using libcairo2 1.12.2-1ubuntu2.2.
Comment 8 Jean Bréfort 2013-04-17 08:50:29 UTC
OK, and seems this bug is not reported in cairo, I'll investigate then.
Comment 9 Jean Bréfort 2013-04-17 09:26:36 UTC
It is not fixed in cairo git, and not reported. Bad.
Comment 10 Heye 2013-04-17 09:58:16 UTC
OK, thank you. I reported it to cairo:

Comment 11 Jean Bréfort 2013-04-17 19:35:33 UTC
I deactivated the faulty code for now so that markers will be exported correctly in 1.12.2 (to be released next week, most probably). Just the svg files will be larger until they have fixed the bug in cairo.
