A quick experiment with Writer in 4.2.0 shows me that one cannot insert a background fill (Area tab) when making a frame, but one can subsequently select the frame and then insert the background. Also, the Frame toolbar does not show onscreen for me, so I am unable to attempt Linking frames, whether empty or with background fill. Using /View /Toolbars : Frame turns off the Formatting toolbar, but does not display the Frame toolbar. I am reasonably sure the Frame toolbar is not anywhere on my desktop (several monitors in use - checked it is not hidden behind anything). >>> I have seen this "hidden" toolbar on Linux (with a fresh profile) but >>> never could reproduce it on Windows. >>> >>> However, Revision 1853741 should fix it. > OK, on > AOO420m1(Build:9820) - Rev. 1853744 > 2019-02-17_20:20:13 - Rev. 1853770 > > just now installed (old profile used): The Frame toolbar shows on Linux deb > 64 when a frame is selected.

OK, on AOO420m1(Build:9820) - Rev. 1853744 2019-02-17_20:20:13 - Rev. 1853770 just now installed (old profile used): The Frame toolbar shows on Linux deb 64 when a frame is selected. I can link frames OK. However, I cannot insert a background (Area) fill when defining a frame. The system hangs, then crashes. The old linux trick of starting openoffice4 in a terminal does not give any diagnostic information after such a crash. I can, once a frame is made, select it and change the background (Area) colour. If a frame has had a background inserted after making the frame, its linking to another frame is uncertain - the background colour is sometimes treated as frame content and linking is not permitted; however, the logic of "content" in a frame probably ought be inserted content such as text or illustration, not structural content such as a background colour generated at frame make time; but until a frame can have such content generated at frame make time, one cannot experiment in any detail.
