misrendering of SVG files (clipping paths)

[Mark]

Generating an SVG file using matplotlib,

from pylab import *

x = linspace(0,2,101)
plot(x,x)
xlim(0,1)
savefig('test.svg')

gives the SVG file attached. This file views fine in Inkscape, Firefox, Chromium. However in Ristretto the blue line is not clipped properly and extends past the right side of the plot. The file's XML is pretty simple, with just one clip rectangle.

It seems there are a few image viewers with this problem including Ristretto but also gpicview, comix, gthumb. I'm not sure why they all share this issue (same library?). I'll submit the bug report here in hopes it gets forwarded upstream to the right place.

What version of Ubuntu and with what version of ristretto is this occurring?

This also occurs in eog 3.6.2-0ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail".

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

also affects Ristretto and gThumb in Trusty.

It affects eog too in trusty.

I don't know which Standard of SVG is implemented in Ristretto.

When I saw the same issue in Gwenview I did some searching and found that the Qt library only implemented the SVG 1.2 Tiny standard, which doesn't support the clipping path feature.

More info from the KDE/Qt side:
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-28636
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-28636

So, still not sure if this is the same cause of problem for Ristretto.

Also affects the basic SVG viewer rsvg-view-3.

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.
