--- Comment #40 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Regina Henschel from comment #36) > So you suggest to always use "automatic" in case the gradient has more than > two color stops? > > The current behavior is, that in case there are more than two color stops > and the user has set an Increment value, the stepped rendering is applied > individually to each part between two adjacent stops. The stepped gradients are IMO a mutually exclusive alternative to multi-color gradients (which define their own steps, and allow to create the same effect, if needed). Having it either-or is correct, I believe. > I see the following solutions.

The effort is a different thing; the idea that we should reject some improvement because it needs an effort is not correct (well, it may happen not too soon, but that doesn't matter). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
