Bug ID: 161072
Summary: Character dialog's preview for Transparency font
effect does not update on value change
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.0.0.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: bibisected, bisected, implementationError
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Blocks: 107657
Steps:
1. Open Writer
2. Write some text
3. Select some text, apply a font colour that's not Automatic (to avoid bug
139751)
4. Format > Character > Font Effects
5. Change Transparency value to a high value, e.g. 70% (so a change would be
noticeable)
6. Press Tab to make sure the change registers
7. Change tab in the dialog
Result: the preview does not update to show the transparency. On Linux, it only
updates after moving to a different dialog tab.
Expected: the preview should update as soon as the value changes, just like it
does when changing e.g. the Font color in the same tab, or the Scale width in
the Position tab, of the Font size in the Font tab, etc.

Already the case on 7.0 at Miklos' 5202771939da66ac85ca3221d69e7e5f5cca8da7.
On Linux, before commit 30bc5fdb49621269b7281aace610ca85b150766c, preview would
never show transparency; but since 24.2 and commit
30bc5fdb49621269b7281aace610ca85b150766c, preview updates when changing tabs:

Caolán, given that your commit slightly improved things on Linux, any thoughts?
