Dear All,

I have noticed the following behavior both for:

libreoffice-7-0~2020-09-15_19.39.00_LibreOfficeDev_7.0.2.0.0_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz
master~2020-09-10_21.26.34_LibreOfficeDev_7.1.0.0.alpha0_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz

1) Start libreofficedev7.[01]
2) Open "New Text Document" per Ctrl+N
3) Tools > Options > LibreOfficeDev > Application Colors
4) Change "Application background" color to Dark Blue 2
5) Click on Apply
6) The color is changed only within a rectangle between the rulers (see WriterScreenshot1)
7) Click OK
8) The color is changed in the areas above the horizontal ruler and left of the vertical ruler as well as in the left top Tab rectangle  (see WriterScreenshot2)
9) Close Writer window and reopen it per Ctrl+N
10) The color is changed as well in the areas on the left and right of the horizontal ruler and top and bottom of the vertical ruler  (see WriterScreenshot3)

This is just a blemish rather than a serious issue. Nevertheless, maybe you want to fix it.

Regards
Tom

I can confirm that the painting only happens between the ruler(s) and the document first. I can then resize the window so it colours all around the ruler(s).

And I also just saw that I needed to close and reopen LO for the new colour to be entirely applied.

Dear Tom,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
