Comment 9 for bug 1599763

> - which version of Inkscape? You can find this out at the menu item Help->About.
as i already specified i use the most recent one i can download: 0.91, r13725, exe-Creation-Time 30th of Januar, 2015. (don't know, if a lyx2-2 installation overwrites some files there, but in the main inkscape installation directory i found this. And this was the exe i started, when i tried to reproduce the bug directly (i.e. not indired via lyx))Operating system(s)/Environments tested:* Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit+Office 2010 Professional (in case office has an influence on the handling of emf)* Windows 7 Professional 64 bit + Office 365* Windows 10 Pro (x86 and 64 bit both), Office 2010 Professional
=> each time i got the same result (but although the laptops are different, i installed quite the same software on all of them)
The bug seems to depend on some state of inkscape. (Before i always saw the bug on all machines, yesterday i had 15 minutes, where inkscape did the right thing - then switching back to the bug without changes on my side) In case this helps, i'll specify my inkscape related handlings and observations.* On all(?) machines (except the fresh installation of the first one) i first installed Lyx2.1.4 (the version without inkscape), much later inkscape 0.91 to work with xps-files which i online converted to pdf and then edited in inkscape. This worked and still works. * At this point in time i did not test the handling of emf files. * Then I installed Lyx 2.2. (which uses and brings(?) inkscape for image conversion) Not sure, what exactly they do with inkscape. For the smaller converters of lyx 2.1.4, those were just put in a private subdirectory of the lyx-directory. I don't know if they recognize the inkscape installation and leave it like it is or do a private installation of inkscape.* Then i realized, that my generated pdf was scrambled, later i realized that this mostly because of scrambled (and shrunken - which probably is a feature and not a bug) emf images. * Then i investigated and found inkscape as the program in charge. I tried manually to open the emf's and saw the described error (scrambling of texts when opening, more scrambling and removal of lines when saving as pdf).* After my fresh install some days ago, i installed inkscape 0.91 and lyx 2.1.5. (don't know in which order). Had no time to play with inkscape. Yesterday - just before filing the bug - i tested again and saw the bug. After your first reply yesterday ("...not reproduced on 0.91...") i tried myself and for 15 minutes inkscape did the correct thing (i did not change my actions and luckily in the recycle bin i still found a garbled pdf from before filing the bug).* Then i thought about if this lucky state change might also have solved my problem with lyx (even if it did i would not know how to cure the rest of the laptops or later installs). So i installed Lyx2.2. => the images were still scrambled. I then tried again to open the emf in inkscape - and the bug was there again (doing exactly what i did 15 minutes before - open inkscape, file->open ... emf (and later save as pdf)* Now the bug is again present on all my machines.
> - can you attach the svg file you obtain when you load your emf file into Inkscape?> - I am attaching the result I obtain in Inkscape 0.91 r13725 (Jan 30 2015)sure. find it attached. yours looks correct. (yours is 1kb greater (54kb vs. 53kb for my version)
