--- Comment #3 from achim <ach...@sonnenkinder.org> --- Yes, I agree that this should be two questions and addressed to the Design Team (UX). IMHO, the current implementation is clearly a bug, as you change the UI settings to get a different result in the exported file. A perfect, at least clear, solution would be to have two configurations: a) User interface element: Field shadings b) "Filter settings for export": Background colour of fields Otherwise either - if the UI is not changed, don't export background colours for fields, . if the UI is changed, move the setting to the "export filter settings" > So general question is: Should field shadings be part of Html-Export (and PDF > or EPUB export)? My personal opinion: in general it should not be exported. in a perfect world, it can be configured for each export separately (as described abobe). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
