Bug ID: 167135
Summary: Page Style transparency adjustment in Writer No Longer
Working at all.
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.2.4.3 release
Hardware: Other
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Here's what I do: I open up Page Style on an odt text document. I have the
area set for an image as background. The image as originally imported is too
dark and I want to lighten it up. So I click on transparency, which then shows
Area Transparency Mode with the button displaying No Transparency. I click on
the "transparency" button halfway between "No Transparency" on top and
"gradient" on bottom. The automatically proffered setting is 50%, but it can be
set to any percentage. I hit "apply" at the bottom of the box. However,
regardless of the percentage setting, there is absolutely no transparency
adjustment. The area background image remains exactly as originally imported. I
hit "reset." Nothing happens.
I've been using LO for more than ten years, almost entirely with odt text
documents, for at least half of which (literally thousands) I've had to make
transparency adjustments. Which never, ever failed. And now they simply don't
work at all.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select Page Style: Area: Image
2.Select Transparency mode: Any percentage
3.Select "Apply"
4.No effect whatsoever.
Actual Results:
Nothing happened. Have previously used transparency adjustment in page style
very successfully in thousands of odt documents. Now all those transparency
adjustments (in prior documents) have disappeared and cannot be recreated. Nor
can such adjustments be made in newly created documents.
Expected Results:
Normally, one would see a lightening effect on the background image, with
greater lightening with higher percentage transparency. Now nothing happens at
all.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
Invoking the "Area Transparency Mode" on the Page Style sheet should lighten
the Background image. NOTA BENE: The same problem occurs when using the
transparency option in paragraph style.
