Description Pii 2020-12-16 20:27:59 UTC
Description:
I have a file in writer, I inserted a text box then inserted a line (in which ever pattern, horizontal, vertical etc...)I dragged the line and place it on top of the text box but it goes behind the text box. I tried the Bring to Front function but it doesn't work. It stays covered by the text box. I tried the same on Drawing and it didn't work. I tried it on Calc and it worked. The line finally stays on top. I don't know why. it is a simple function. Why isn't it the same on Writer or Drawing.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.I inserted a text box then inserted a line (in which ever pattern, horizontal, vertical etc...)
2.I tried the Bring to Front function.
3.I tried the same on Drawing & Calc

Actual Results:
I don't understand this box. Everything is explain in the Description box.

Expected Results:
I don't understand this box. Everything is explain in the Description box.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:

Related question: https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/282929/

The "text box" is a Form Text Box. Apparently this occurs with any Shape, not only Lines.

Writer, Impress and Draw show the same issue.

Real steps:

1. Open Writer
2. Form - Text box, draw it
3. Insert - Shape - Line - Line, draw it over the text box
4. Right-click line, Arrange - Bring to front or right-click text box, Send to back

Already seen in 3.3.0

Dear Pii,

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
