applications-development icon is partly black

[Brice Terzaghi]

The issue appeared after upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04, the icon was right in 15.10. I'm using Ubuntu Mate but the issue is likely indpendant of the DE.

When displaying the applications-development.svg icon (from categories), either in Caja (Nautilus fork) or the Applications menu, the silver part is black instead of the normal appearance. It only appears with sizes 16, 22, 24 & 32; sizes 48, 64 & 128 appear fine.

The weird things is that it doesn't happen if I open the icons in Inkscape or display them in a HTML page. It only happens in the file manager and Apps menu (and probably other places I haven't been able to check, like menus and such). Might be a Gtk rendering issue rather than the icons themselves.

I attach a montage that shows the black-ish icons.

Thank you for your bug report, indeed that seems an issue, unsure the theme change though, that could be a librsvg issue

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.

Indeed preloading the librsvg from trusty makes it work, so it's an issue with the library

Opened a bug report there: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765519

According to migrated upstream bug https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/librsvg/-/issues/141

This works correctly on librsvg 2.42.3.
