1. Insert>Section 2. Tools>Options-LibreOffice - Application Colors 3. Unclick "Section Boundaries" 4. Apply Actual: Boundaries still visible Expected: Boundaries disappear Additional information. 1. Problem remains even if application is closed and restarted. 2. Possible to change color of boundary 3. Also reproduced in LO 6.5.0.0.alpha
I can confirm the bug with the following versions: Version: 6.4.0.1 (x64) Build ID: 1b6477b31f0334bd8620a96f0aeeb449b587be9f CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18362; UI render: default; VCL: win; Locale: en-US (pl_PL); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded and Version: 6.5.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: d9fe1a661c6a76f0b122c82edf73ec9efbdff349 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18362; UI render: GL; VCL: win; Locale: pl-PL (pl_PL); UI-Language: en-US Calc: CL Boundaries remain visible after unclicking "section boundaries".
On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I could reproduce this. I noticed too that: - for Section Boundaries if you enable them and choose a custom color, the color is applied if you disable them and let the custom color, the color is still applied! - for unvisited links: if you enable them and choose a custom color, the color is applied if you disable them and let the custom color, the by default color (a blue) is applied
I tested Table boundaries, if you enable them and choose a custom color, the color is applied if you disable them and let the custom color, they don't appear (the by default color isn't applied)
I submitted this patch on gerrit: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/86600
I don't know if the patch will be accepted, so let's not unassign since an expert dev may fix this.
(let's unassign)
The color used for "Section boundaries" can be hidden via View -> Text boundaries. I think the checkbox for this color wasn't supposed to exist in the Application Colors dialog. Maybe we should remove it?
We could: a) have a dedicated color for section boundaries and a special switch to turn it off b) dedicated color for section boundaries but turn it off via text boundaries (current situation) c) use the text boundaries color and turn it off via text boundaries (meaning to remove the color option) My take is c). SwViewOption::GetSectionBoundColor() is used in SwPageFrame::PaintNotesSidebar() and SwSubsRects::PaintSubsidiary().
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #8) > My take is c). because....? 2¢ about a), b) and c) in comment 8: a) is best because can turn off text boundaries, but still have a way to indicate section boundaries. Similarly, can keep text boundaries and hide section boundaries. b) is tolerable if a) is not accepted, but then the on/off checkbox should be removed from Applications Colors. c) seems to imply removing section color boundaries completely, for no apparent reason. Not being able to mark section boundaries is a disadvantage, especially in master documents.
The section boundaries would be treated as ordinary text boundaries. I don't see a reason to distinguish the two.
I'm clearly against option c). It is useful to easily distinct sections from other parts of the document. Do not treat them same as text boundaries. It is useful to set a different color if you debug the structure of a document or to easily see linked areas in master document for example. The checkbox works in AOO 4.1.6 but is already broken in LO 3.5.1. So my take is, fix the not working checkbox.
From the 3 options proposed in Comment #8 I think the best one is (a). Note that currently have "View - Text Boundaries", so we can add a new command "Section Boundaries" in the View menu as well.
I proposed a patch that implements option (a). It's available for review in Gerrit. https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/146077
