Correct, and unfortunately there is no mechanism for handling layers in LibreOffice (or AOO or OOo, or StarOffice before). And the real rub with current implementation comes with needing to maintain internal structure of each document and its mix of objects with its rendering into ODF. As I understand things the handling is somewhat fragile and the export/import filtering could be more robust. A current cause of issues with loss of background colors, fills, and transparency among others. We also lack a GUI for efficiently controlling groupings and individual objects as layers. Draw alone has a rudimentary capability in a tabbed UI. Across the modules Navigator shows labeled/described objects, but does not directly manipulate them for grouping or reordering as layers. Believe that as work proceeds on restructuring the internal SdrObject/SdrPage corresponding work on the GUI will then support efficient grouping and ordering of objects (not just as layers on a canvas)--think document structure and flow, for screen readers and other automation. So with that said, this specific issue is out of context. Could dupe to one of many issues or even to bug 95812, but probably best to just close as notabug given the current summary write up. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
