Description howil 2018-02-27 20:51:31 UTC
Description:
I have to use a .doc file where some style for a heading is used. In particular, a background area-fill is set for 'Heading 1'. 
If I save this .doc as .odt and reopen the file the 'Area'-fill is set to 'None'.
As long as I use the .doc nothing changes on reopen. But if I look into the style I see already 'None' set for the 'Area'-fill tab. So I think that LO-Writer does show the imported style correctly but does not set the dialogues for the styles corretly. When saving the document as .odt all some information about the style is lost.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the attached .doc file 
2. Check the style of 'Heading 1': Area is set to 'None' even if a color is used as background fill
3. Save file as .odt
4. Close LO and reopen the .odt file; The Fill color of 'Heading 1' is no more visible!! 
5. Check the style of 'Heading 1': Area is still set to 'None'.

Actual Results:  
After saving the .doc as .odt some style information like 'Area'-fill is gone.

Expected Results:
The saved .odt should look like the .doc (with area-fill in headings)


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
The area fill is visible as long as you use the .doc even if in the style-dialogue the 'Area' is set to 'None'. Maybe only the dialogue values are not set correctly in the first place when opening in with the .doc.

Yep, it's definitely weird: the style shows RGB values in the Organizer tab for the blue and also shows the blue as preview in Font & Font effects.

In 3.3, the background tab shows the blue, but "No fill" as the name.
3.6 shows the blue as well, but empty name.
Both older versions do not lose the colour after saving as odt.

Since Armin has apparently abandoned following up on his changes, and there are very many bugs related to it, I'm rather cautious about tackling any of this because it is probably a lot more complex that I can imagine. So, I'm not taking this bug, but here is a patch that works for me. I want to do a lot more investigation before I commit it though. https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/64186/
