vsdx import incorrectly render process boxes as white (making text unreadable)

Using inkscape 1.0 command line option vsdx image is coverted to png image. But the converted image does not contain the blue color background in a rectangular box as in the vsdx file.Instead of blue it has white background. Hence the text contents are not visible in that rect box. In Inkscape 0.91 version, converted png image has black background for all the diagrams. So the text contents are visible.

Steps to reproduce:

  • open command line
  • inkscape --export-type="png" D:/OTP/Inkskape/Compare/abc.vsdx

What happened?

Text contents are not visible because of white background in the rectangular box.

What should have happened?

It should have the same color as in the vsdx file.

Sample attachments:

  • vsdx file format. To blur the contents,it is saved as png. abc_vsd_original

  • converted png file from vsdx using inkscape 0.91. No issue. All the text contents are visible. abc_0.91

  • converted png file from vsdx using inkscape 1.0. White background in rectangular boxes instead of blue color. That makes the text contents invisible. abc_1.0

Version Info:

  • Inkscape Version: 1.0
  • Operating System: Windows
  • Operating System version: 10
