Description Aron Budea 2018-10-21 23:53:54 UTC
Created attachment 145885 [details]
Sample DOC

The attached DOC (created in Word) contains two images and a text box in the header, and was saved from bug 120760's bugdoc in Word.
One image is the page background (light blue), and should be behind the others (a red box and text box with green background).

=> It's shown in front instead (results are slightly different compared to bug 120760).
It's a Z-order bug, because if the image Picture 2 (the background) is deleted in the Navigator, the others are shown.

Observed using LO 6.2.0.0.alpha0+ (2018-10-09, 425af6845ebe066c950b0b63f50563e067485f3e) & 3.3.0 / Windows 7.

Comment 3 Aron Budea 2018-10-23 16:39:50 UTC
Thanks for checking, Xavier! I'd be surprised if this was actually fine in 6.1, but not in master, so that result seems fishy.
Comment 4 Aron Budea 2018-10-23 18:20:51 UTC
Also checked with 6.1.4.0.0+ daily build (2018-10-23, 5de85be43198804573787d4186b156b5931c4a9f), and I'm still only seeing the background, so the bug is still there. Let's set the bug to NEW.

// #i14045# MM If we are in a header or footer then make the object transparent
// Not exactly like word but close enough for now
const bool bMoveToBackgrd = pRecord->bDrawHell ||
                            ( ( m_bIsHeader || m_bIsFooter ) && pF->nwr == 3 );
if ( bMoveToBackgrd )
    aFlySet.Put(SvxOpaqueItem(RES_OPAQUE,false));
Comment 7 Justin L 2021-04-08 15:21:09 UTC
Unfortunately there is no documentation in the code that indicates what determines z-order in DOC files, nor what determines zorder in LO. So we are left guessing as to whether the implementation is generally correct.

Inserting these three items in reverse order seems to fix the problem (and no unit tests fail either), but based on a code read, I would expect that the code is correct too. Confusing!

DOCX supposedly has something like "relativeHeight=“251657728"”, but that doesn't exist when I round-trip this example as DOCX (but it does have z-index, which is what is used in this case.)

My guess (which may be entirely wrong) is that DOC has zorder similar to DOCX.
But I see no evidence that this is actually being used. Our implementation seems to be simply based on the order in which the shape is read from the document, with the first read as the lowest zorder.

LO seems to use 0-n, where 0 is the lowest zorder.

And that seems like exactly what is happening for attachment 145885 [details]. But I notice something very strange. I expect that the IDs from DOCX will match DOC (because that is true for the example documents that I made to try to test my ideas), but in this case they are the opposite!
DOCX -   item     -  DOC
2049 - Text Box 2 - 2051
2050 - Picture 1  - 2050
2051 - Picture 2  - 2049
Comment 8 Justin L 2021-04-09 09:14:55 UTC
The key is that the blue shape was marked as "in background" while the other shapes were "before text". Amazingly, there was nothing in the existing shape ordering that put background shapes behind foreground shapes.
