Markers have wrong orientation when imported to MS Office
Summary:
In addition to the wrong arrow head color reported here (#7452 (moved)), the orientation of arrows is wrong when imported to MS Office apps. I noticed that this issue is fixed when using
orient="auto"
instead of
orient="auto-start-reverse"
but with the right sign for the transformation transform="scale(-0.7)"
(see below).
Steps to reproduce:
- open Inkscape
- draw an inclined red line with two arrows on both sides.
- import the svg or copy the arrow and paste it into one of MS Office apps.
- arrow heads are horizontal and black!

in the SVG code for both arrows:

instead of orient="auto-start-reverse"
in the SVG code for both arrows and using transform="scale(-0.7)"
for the upper arrow:
The arrow is rendered in this case correctly in MS Office and browsers (except the head color which is wrong everywhere)
