Discussion of Bug 37759 - Pixel around Objects like ellipse

Hello list,

I investigate the problem of two pixels (top left and bottom right)
around predefined shapes (circle, smiley, ellipse...)

You can reproduce the bug by
- Open LibreOffice Draw
- Draw a ellipse or circle
- Select your object and convert it to a polygon
- change into the edit points mode
- now you can see the additional point top left and bottom right.

You can move these dots around, delete them and so on. Unfortunalely
they are visible on export into pdf or any other format.

This Bug does not exist in OOO3.20 and was fixed in AOO3.40.
It was Introduces during the development of OOo 3.30 and found it's way
during the fork into LibreOffice 3.3. This is the story so far.

I investigate the files, which OOo 3.20 and LO4.2.4 are creating with
the steps described above and with an simple ellipse.

OpenOffice 3.20 has created this structure:
(There are no additional dots, and, surprise if i open this file with
LO4.2.4 and save it into another file and reopen it with LO4.2.4 the bug
is not present! Conclusion: The bug has something to do with the
creation of these shapes!)

LibreOffice 4.2.4 (Ubuntu 14.04) creates this structure after drawing a
ellipse:

<office:body>

      <draw:custom-shape draw:style-name="gr1" draw:text-style-name="P1"

      </draw:custom-shape>
    </draw:page>
  </office:drawing>

LibreOffice 4.2.4 (Ubuntu 14.04) creates this structure after convert
the ellipse into a polygon:
(But instead of a polygon, LO creates a path!!!)

<office:body>
  <office:drawing>
    <draw:page draw:name="page1" draw:style-name="dp1"

After deleting the two additional dots and save the file again it
changed to a polygon!!!:
(Also look at the svg width, hight and the svg:viewBox) ;-)

Alternatively I create this file, instead of deleting the two dots I
move them slightly away from the object. The result is:

<office:body>
  <office:drawing>
    <draw:page draw:name="page1" draw:style-name="dp1"
draw:master-page-name="Standard">

Very strange.
