Bug ID: 163936
Summary: Impossible to add soft shadow to image, difficult to
add soft shadow to shape
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.8.3.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
While it is very easy in Libre Draw to add soft shadows (from sidebar) to both
images and shapes this is not that case in libre writer: It is possible for
shapes, but not from sidebar (why?), only from context menu --> area --> shadow
tab. However, it is impossible for images. There is no way to add soft shadow,
only "old fashioned 1990's" style shadow.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.add an image to the document
2. there is no "shadow" option in the sidebar
3. only through right click --> properties --> borders you can find an "old
school shadow" with no option to blur in order to create soft shadow
For shapes
1) add shape
2) there is no shadow option in side bar
3) you need to go from context menu --> area --> shadow tab to apply soft
shadow (with blur option)
Actual Results:
As described I can't add soft shadow (blurred) to an image
Expected Results:
I should be able to add soft shadow (blurred) to an image
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
The "soft shadow" software module is working perfectly in libre draw, therefore
it should be not a problem to implement it to libre writer's sidebar also.
