Bug Description
For reasons I won't go into on converting a clip from SVG to EMF when the clip path consists of, for instance, a group
made up of two disjoint rectangles it will be converted to a single path with two disjoint areas. On reimport from EMF
this causes problems. I believe this is an inkscape bug because the resulting disjoint single path SVG renders properly in firefox.
What happens, at least on linux, is that the draw is unstable, with various parts of the clipped image drawn or not, depending upon zoom, scrolling, and other extraneous factors.
The original (preceding post) renders correctly in Inkscape and Firefox. This version, with the clipping region stored as a single path with two disjoint subpaths, renders correctly in Firefox but variably and incorrectly in Inkscape.
