Description dittnamn 2020-09-08 20:26:57 UTC
Description:
When placing an image in the background and dragging it behind a table that has a background color, the image replaces the background color on that part.

It's possible to create a file in Microsoft Word where this doesn't happen, even when imported into Libreoffice and saved as .odt. That table can't be copied or recreated however, but can be edited with a different background color, and extended with more cells.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a table, and change the background color of the table.
2. Insert an image.
3. Right click the image and choose Wrap->In background.
4. Move the image behind the table.
Result: Image is placed between the table background and the table contents.

Alteratively:
1. Create a table with a background color in Microsoft Word.
2. Open that file in Libreoffice.
3. Insert image the same way and place behind the table.
Result: Image is placed behind the table background, but...

4. Try to copy and paste the table created in Microsoft Word.
5. Place image behind the pasted table.
Result: Image is placed between the table background and the table contents.

Actual Results:
I attach two screenshots of what happens. One when the image is placed behind the table imported from Microsoft Word and one where I try to recreate the same table in Libreoffice. It doesn't help to send the image to the back.

Expected Results:
The image should be placed behind the table background, unless the image is placed inside the table, where this behaviour might be OK.


Reproducible: Always

I've done some more testing and compared what happens with the table from Word and the table from Libreoffice.

The difference seems to be the setting "BackgroundParaOverDrawings" from the settings.xml file in the .odt, that when set to "true" gives the same behavior as Word does.

So, for some reason, the current default behavior seems to be to place the background behind the drawings, and I would say this is not logical.

I'd suggest that the setting is changed to "true" as default for all new documents.

Table with rectangle in background - rectangle shown in front

Don't know if this is the same. For ReportBuilder in Base we tried to put a shape in the background of a table. Is shown right while editing the Report, but it can't be shown in a Writer table, because you could set nothing in the back of a table.
