Printing SVG image renders wrong

[David Henningsson]

Not sure this is the right package, but I need to start somewhere.

Steps to reproduce:
Download https://openclipart.org/download/224778/Green-Floral-Frame.svg

Display it with eog, notice that it looks just fine. Click "Print preview" for either a real printer or the PDF printer. Notice that the image is now broken.
Something similar happens when trying to print from inkscape (Vector rendering is broken, Bitmap rendering is okay), so I suspect this is somewhere in the printing backend.

If you only display the file in the print preview of the print dialog, it is not yet sent to CUPS. So the problem cannot be caused by CUPS. Moving to GTK ...

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.
