3) What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Draw via the Terminal:

cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/253670/+attachment/364486/+files/EPS.odg && unoconv --listener && unoconv -f eps EPS.odg && lodraw -nologo EPS.odg EPS.eps

the two files look the same.

4) What happens instead is the image at the bottom right of EPS.eps disappears.

I made a simple graphic (a single ellipse) in draw,
and exported it as EPSF with preview.

I checked the content with kghostview, and it was correct.

I then placed (embedded) the ellipse on a new draw-ing, and created
a rectangle around the ellipse. I then exported THIS page as EPSF.

Viewing this file with kghostview
showed a rectangle, with no ellipse; THIS IS WRONG.

A little low level postscript hacking showed that the ellipse was WAY off the
bottom of the page (by about 10 pages with, judging by eye)

Bizarrely, printing postscript to a file generates correct
output, so there *is* working code in there somewhere, but it's
not being used on export.

The "hacked" file shrinks the super.eps graphic by a factor of 100;
it also disables the postscript clip command.

This allows the super.eps to be place in the middle
of an A4 page (it comes out rather small ;-), and
shows that the "sub" graphic is present, but is in
completely the wrong place. Since it is normally
outside the "super" pages clip bos, it is also invisible,
whic is why I killed the clip command.

If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that has not happened already.

Christopher, is this bug still valid / reproducible with the latest LO release from http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ ?

When I open your example file I have no option to save to .eps file format. Maybe this option was removed, which would make this bug a wontfix?

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

   *Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (4.4.1 or later)
   https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

   *If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior

   *If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System

Please DO NOT

   *Update the version field
   *Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
   *Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case)

If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:

1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3)

http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug

. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from OOo";

Scratch that, actually on open the EPS is not displayed, only its Title, Creation info etc. For some reason I believed it was the image :D
