One can see from the OOo bug reports that there was already a call to
have NoFill equate to 100% transparency, even back then.

Merci. It makes me wonder why anyone thought the current behaviour was 
somehow a good idea.  :(

Yes but the fact that you can get around a bug doesn't mean the bug 
doesn't exist.  :)



Wow

I never saw that issue before.  Tried every way to have an image in 
the background [5.2.3.3 DEB] and I cannot seem to get your "fix" 
working.  I am wondering if the text's  "internal white space" can be 
made transparent?  That is where I seem to get the current issues.


I wonder if it would be too much to create a business card image file 
- with the background - in GIMP or DRAW and then just place that image 
in the first card space and sync all the rest of the card spaces?  How 
much of a "pain" would it be to do that till the bug gets fixed?


I use the Background options with WRITER created fliers, posters [US 
Letter to 13x19 inch], and other documents.  I really would have 
thought it would work the same in the Business Card Templates.



The problem with creating a single image for the entire card is that you 
can't use a database to fill it easily - such as the same card design 
for multiple employees, just with different names and contact information.


The problem doesn't seem to the "internal white space" so much as the 
page the text sits on. You can make the page transparent (Format | Page 
| Transparency - set to 100%) which fixes the problem. It's just not 
very intuitive.

why 1000 ?

an option to make it not show at all is very much a better option

2016-12-22 Thread m.a.riosv
There is a bug report tdf#92160 - sc: limit search results to 1000 entries.

I think it should be on the last 5.2.4.2 released version.
