Description physkets 2021-01-31 04:25:26 UTC

SUMMARY

An SVG image with a 'zoomed-in' portion displayed in a separate patch does not render correctly. The new window should show the zoomed-in version, but only inside the window. Gwenview displays the zoomed-in structures even outside it. Other viewers display this correctly (eg. Firefox).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Attached is such an image.

This appears to be an upstream bug in QT itself. I've filed a bug report here - https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-90803

Comment 3 Madhav Kanbur 2021-02-04 08:16:57 UTC

I'm not too hopeful of things getting fixed upstream since Qt Svg doesn't have full svg support and should be replaced by a better renderer. QT themselves recommend using QtWebKit (now superseded by QtWebEngine) - https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-12588?focusedCommentId=123082&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-123082

I'm gonna mark this as a duplicate and try porting the code to QtWebEngine.
