Description Gabriele Bertolucci 2017-01-01 18:29:28 UTC
Description:
I opened an ODT file which contains a table. Many cells have a colored background (the colors are multiple), others have transparent background. 1) If I select simultaneously two different colored cells (or a colored one and transparent one) and I try to set them to a transparent background, this command is not successful: nothing happens, no error messages. 2) If I select simultaneously two cells with the same color and I try to set them to a transparent background, it works correctly. 3) If I select simultaneously two different colored cells or two same colored cells and I try to set them to the same background color (no matter if it's one of the colors of the two selected cells or a third color), it works correctly.

Steps to Reproduce:
The steps are detailed in the bug description.

Actual Results:  
The result is detailed in the bug description (point 1).

Expected Results:
For point 1, I expected the cells where all set to a transparent background.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
I tried LibreOffice in Windows 10 Pro, version 1607 (build 14393.576).

Comment 3 steevie 2017-01-02 08:38:58 UTC
I can confirm this behaviour on Linux Devuan 4.3.0-1-amd64 with Libreoffice Version: 5.2.3.3, Build ID: 1:5.2.3-2.

Setting a transparent background on cells with different background does not work even when selecting the cells, then going to Table > Properties and selecting "no fill" on Cell. 

Moreover, another odd behaviour is in the case a row contains cells with (two) diffferent background color. See screenshots. 
1. Let the first cell be of one color and all the other of different color.
2. Select the _first_ cell
3. Select a different background color for the whole row

Result: all the first row but the first cell change color.

i have,

Versione: 5.3.0.0.beta1
Build ID: 1:5.3.0~beta1-1
Thread CPU: 4; Versione SO: Linux 4.8;

I confirm how other users, cells with different colors, you are not able to change color by selecting two or more cells, while with color equal, the problem does not exist.
