Issue ID: 125382
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Onscreen Dropshadow on colored text is wrongly the
identical color, hence blurry and ineffectual (major).
Worked previously as black shadow in Writer and Calc.
Product: Writer
Version: 4.1.0
Hardware: All
OS: Mac OSX, 10.8
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: P3
Component: formatting
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Dropshadow colors are no longer correctly black. Dropshadow colors are now
coming out indentical to the foreground font-effect colour. This means the drop
shadow effect is non-existent and not actually occuring. Instead the effect is
just creates a blur on the screen.
To reproduce this bug:
- type any text in writer or calc
- select text and format the font-effect
- change the color of the text
- select dropshadow
Expected results:
- black drop shadow on colored text
Actual results:
- colored drop shadow (hence no drop shadow)
Additional information:
It's a a major problem because anyone using this feature will actually be
relying on it's display effects. It's a complete block for some people who
cannot print their materials without the dropshadow effect working. It is a
common and basic word-processing effect and possibly will effect reliability
reviews of Open Office.
This occurs on my Mac OSX 10.8.5 and perhaps other platforms.
There is a workaround to copy a text label and layer it slightly off centre
with a different color. This workaround is not possible in Calc as the text is
necessarily inside the cells.
