Version: 6.0.4.2 Build ID: 9b0d9b32d5dcda91d2f1a96dc04c645c450872bf CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.1; UI render: default; Locale: en-US (en_US); Calc: CL Confirmed. Robin - if possible it would be nice to find out if this is a regression. If you have time please test against earlier releases of LibreOffice. Best way to to do it is to test against 3.3 - if it didn't exist in 3.3 we know that it's a regression against the Fork from OOo. Older Versions: https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ Thank you
I'm afraid I can't find LibreOffice v3.3 All I could find is v3.3 of the Software Developers Toolkit which carries the OpenOffice branding. I only installed LibreOffice for the first time yesterday v5.4.2 and upgraded to 6.0.5.2 today when I hit the bug. So, I'm rather out of my depth. Previously I was running OpenOffice v4.1.3. The feature to configure Gradient, Bitmap, Pattern and Hatch isn't present in OO 4.1.3. The only feature offered is Format >> Page >> Background >> Colour so I'm guessing that this is a new feature added by LibreOffice. Hope this helps a little, Sorry I can't give you more to go on. I'm off on holiday tomorrow so can't be much help. Thanks.
OK, further to my last comment, I found and installed LibreOffice 3.3.0.3 only to discover that the capability to configure Gradient, Bitmap, Pattern and Hatch isn't provided. The only option offered is the capability to configure the page's background colour (Format >> Page >> Background >> Colour).

I’ve re-tested this using LibreOffice 7.3.2.2 on Mac OS X 10.16 and confirm that there is still a bug present and that Gradient, Image, Pattern and Hash aren’t presented correctly on the LH page. This is slightly different to the way that the bug originally presented itself when first reported. Before testing on 7.3.2.3, I tested the bug on LibreOffice v6.x and although there was still a bug present it didn’t show show up quite so obviously (ie., it nearly worked). It wasn’t evident for Gradient but for Image, Pattern and Hash the page area wasn’t always filled consistently. I would therefore conclude that there appears to be some regression between v6.x and v7.3.2.2. The page diagram on Format >> Page Style… >> Page, the area filled in doesn’t include the margins. When the problem was originally reported, only the page text area was filled in and not the margins (see attachment provided). This is a change and not an improvement. Comments about v3.3 have already been made. This feature wasn't present in v3.3.
