Scour messes up paths

[Victor Engmark]

I tried saving the following file as optimized SVG in Inkscape, but it messes up some of the paths: http://github.com/l0b0/CERN-Central-Library-bookmark/blob/master/verso.svg

Assumed information:

Options: Default
Renderer: Eye of GNOME or some such
Scour version: The one with Inkscape
Inkscape version: Unknown

--------

As for this bug, I could reproduce it with the following:

./scour.py -i verso.svg -o verso.opt.svg
Scour version: 0.25 (command-line)
Renderer: Eye of GNOME

Adding --renderer-workaround (new in 0.25) works around the bug in Eye of GNOME. (Firefox displays both files just fine, though.) Strictly speaking, this bug is in "librsvg", a library that handles SVG display for Eye of GNOME and some more applications. (See bug 370061.) It has been worked around in the latest version of Scour, so it's now invalid here; Inkscape might have yet to add the changes, though.

What version of Inkscape do you have? Could you see if there's an option called "Work around renderer bugs" in the save options for Optimized SVG?

Thanks!

reproduced with Inkscape 0.47 on OS X 10.5.8
not reproduced with Inkscape 0.48 r9629 and 0.48+devel r9669 on OS X 10.5.8
(see attached example file saved as 'Optimized SVG' with default options)

The attached file renders correctly in Inkscape 0.47, 0.48pre1, Squiggle (Batik 1.7), Firefox 3.6.8, Safari 5.0, Opera 10.60, rsvg-view version 2.26.2.

Just for completeness: Attaching example file saved as 'Optimized SVG' with Inkscape 0.47 on OS X 10.5.8: renders incorrectly in all SVG renderers listed in comment #3.

AFAICT this is fixed in the upcoming version Inkscape 0.48.

Thanks for the quick reply. As to the more detailed information:
Inkscape version 0.47
Scour in Inkscape
Renderer: Inkscape and Eye of GNOME both render this with the messy paths
Options: Default

Apropos 611296-verso-Optimized-048-r9629.svg: It is not completely correct. There are missing lines (right side of the stairs downstairs, top left flat line downstairs).

[su_v (suv-lp)]

Sorry to have missed those erors: There are two missing sub-paths (each has one straight line segment with two nodes) from the path with the id "path222152" in the original document.

Fixed in Inkscape trunk (with --renderer-workaround).
