--- Comment #12 from tmacalp <tmac...@gmail.com> --- I just marked another report as a dupe of this one. The interesting thing about that report is that the no-fill frame inherited its background from a table's cell's background color. No-Fill frames seem to behave very differently based on where they are anchored. Here is a list of how a no-fill frame behaves when anchored to a... 1 Page with no set background The page background is ultimately white, so the inserted frame sets its background color to white, obscuring objects arranged behind it. 2 Page with set color background The frame takes background color of the page. This frame will obscure any objects behind it. 3 Page with graphic background The inserted frame does some magic and changes its background to be a cutout of the page's background image. This means it will *appear* to be transparent until you arrange the frame on top of another object. Then it shows straight through to the page's background. 4 Another frame with no set background The inserted frame takes background color (white if that frame didn't inherit a background from its anchor point). This frame will obscure objects/page background behind it. 5 Another frame with set color background The inserted frame takes background color. This frame will obscure objects/page background behind it. 6 Another frame with 100% transparent background The inserted frame takes background color from its anchor point, which was transparent, and works like we would expect. Both frames now work like we would expect a no-fill frame to, and show through to objects in the background. 7 Another frame with graphic background The inserted frame behaves kind of like it does when anchored to a page with a graphic background. It changes its background to be cutout of anchor point's background. Again, this means it will *appear* to be transparent until you put it on top of another object. It does something REALLY funky when the no fill frame that runs outside the parent graphic frame. Since it's just inheriting the background frame's graphic, it will tile that graphic instead of showing through to the actual page's background. 8 Frame with gradient background The inserted frame changes background to be the same as anchor point's background. At the least, it should be set to behave like if it were anchored to a frame with a graphic background, with pseudo-transparency. But it does something even worse--it sets its background to the same style of gradient but reproduces it on the scale of the inside frame. 9 Table with no background The frame takes background color (white if default). This frame will obscure objects/page background behind it. 10 Table with set color background The frame takes background color. This frame will obscure objects/page background behind it. 11 Table with graphic background The frame behaves like it does when anchored to a frame with a graphic background. It changes its background to be cutout of anchor point's background. Again, this means it will *appear* to be transparent until it runs out of the table. It then does the same funky thing a no fill frame does when anchored to another frame with a graphic background and tiles the graphic, obscuring any objects/page background behind it. 12 Paragraph with background set to color (the case of this bug report!) The frame uses the anchor point's background color. The paragraph style overrides any other container style (page/frame/table), so the no fill frame will have a background of the paragraph style, even if it's in a container with another background. This will obscure any objects behind the no-fill frame. 13 Paragraph with graphic background The frame uses the anchor point's background color, which is a graphic. I'm not sure when you would ever use a graphic as a background for a paragraph, but that's another story. Just like with the paragraph with a colored background, the inserted frame will override any container backgrounds. It will act like a no fill frame inserted into a frame or table with a background, and begin to tile the image when it's stretched. It too will obscure any objects behind the frame. 14 Character style with any background The inserted frame falls back to the paragraph style, not using the character style's background. It doesn't inherit the character's style, even when anchored to character. I'm sure there are more cases of things that frames can be anchored to/inherit its background from, but these were the only examples I could think of. I could even create a sample document with examples if needed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
