Problem description:
This may not be a bug, but a design error in the LibreOffice software.
I am updating the LibreOffice Impress Guide and have come across the word
"invisible" in the available colours used in drawing tools for fill-in colours
and line properties.
I think that this should changed to "none" or "no colour" and, for line
properties "no line". This would then make LibreOffice conform to what is
widely accepted as the term to use when colour is not required or a line is not
required. Most office software that I have used uses the term "none".
Using the word "invisible" can cause confusion to a user and a user may not
understand what it means, especially if English is not their mother tongue.
Also, "invisible" may not translate correctly into other languages, especially
when it is used to mean no colour or no line.
I think "invisible" could be a mis-translation if the original LibreOffice
software was translated into English from another language.
This bug will apply to all parts of the LibreOffice software where fill-in
colour or line properties are involved.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open LibreOffice, then Drawing
2. Draw a line in the drawing.
3. Make sure the line is selected and right click on the mouse.
4. Select Line:.
5. Select Style and move to the top of the drop down menu where you will find
the word "invisible" instead of "none" or "no line".
Alternatively.
1. Open LibreOffice, then Drawing or Presentation.
2. Place a basic shape on the drawing or slide.
3. Open the drop down menu on the toolbar for area (fill-in colour) and move to
the top of the menu where the word "invisible" will be found. Screen shot
attached.
