Does anyone know if the Writer application uses some kind of canvas interface for formatting and displaying text? I'm picking up on "canvas" here and there but I'm not sure if it's only for the Drawing application, or if all Applications use a form of canvas. I'm guessing the problem with the Java values having the alpha bit and the Uno/Basic values not having the alpha bit for Character Background Color would need to be addressed somewhere around where the values are passed between the two, or where the value is actually set to the Writer interface. I'm still trying to get an idea of how the source code is organized...
