------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Nov 6 19:13:58 +0000 2007 ------- In OO 2.3 there is a new problem that did NOT occur in 2.1: How to reproduce: If you create an OO Writer document, insert a frame, set a background bitmap image to "area", anchor to page. Make that frame rather large. Then go inside that frame and insert another frame, anchored to paragraph, set a white background, then set transparency to, perhaps 25%. Then type some text in the frame. Now print the document. In both 2.1 & 2.3 it will print properly- you will see about a 25% transparency in the top/white frame. Now turn off the border on the parent frame that has a background bitmap set and print the document. In 2.1 it will print properly. In 2.3 the top/white frame will suddenly change to 100% transparency. It will look OK on the screen or in a PDF you create from 2.3, but it will not print properly. I have repeated the test many times, to several printers, as several users. This is a fairly severe problem for us, because our company newsletter uses partial transparent frames like this. It took me MANY hours of troubleshooting the documents to finally narrow down this problem so I could find what causes it and so I could report it. Users not knowing this information might go crazy trying to figure out what is broken. Workaround: Our only work around has been to turn on a border on the lowest frame, making it the same color as the paper (white) and with no spacing. This workaround is successful on some documents, but not others. I will attach a sample document to this issue so it can be tried on other platforms and other OO versions by testers so the root cause can be corrected. I would be happy to attach additional documents as needed- more samples, scans of the prints, postscript of the prints, etc. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
