Description mangoduck 2020-09-03 00:25:33 UTC
Description:
When I export to PDF a drawing with a label control that has seemingly any background color other than default and any connector that ends in an arrow, the label will have a border the same color of the connector even though the label has "without frame" selected as its border. Any connector without an arrow does not do this. Deleting the connector removes the border from the label when exported to PDF. All labels (with backgrounds) in the same document exhibit this behavior.

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Open a new document in LibreOffice Draw
2) Insert a Label Form Control
3) Right click on the label, and then click on "Control Properties..."
4) Scroll down and select any background color other than "Default"
5) Ensure the Border is set to "Without frame"
6) Insert a "Connector Ends with Arrow"
7) Export to PDF

Actual Results:
Open the PDF to find that the drawing is the same as seen in LibreOffice Draw, except there is a border around the label.

Expected Results:
The label in the PDF should show no border.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I checked every connector, and a few background colors. As mentioned, only the connectors with arrows caused this problem. Every background color I checked had the same result.

I opened the PDFs on Mac with Preview, PDF Professional, and Firefox. I opened the PDFs with SumatraPDF, and Firefox on Windows. PDFs created on either machine showed the same problem when opened with any of the PDF readers.

I did not try resetting my UserProfile, but the installation on Windows is completely fresh, downloaded only to test this error on another machine, and with no options changed.

I'm a new user, so I don't know about previous versions, sorry.

No problem, thank you for your answer. This problem will remain in the hands of the developers and community.

I asked you this, because many users said that LibreOffice worked well in the past, but now it is working bad. It's much easier in this case to find the problem, because it's a small change that can be corrected. If something was never working correct this code should be implemented, and this means more time.
