Description xordevoreaux 2021-02-19 10:58:26 UTC
Description:
I am able to apply the glow effect to base shapes, meaning shapes provided by default by Draw, like squares and triangles.

It would be nice if the glow effect also worked on curves and polygons, which is the majority of what I work with, mostly SVGs imported and converted from InkScape, and would be excellent if able to apply to text converted to a curve.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Windows LO Draw
2. Draw a square using Draw's square tool
3. Apply the glow effect to it
4. Convert the square to a curve or polygon

Actual Results:
The glow effect is stripped from the shape and cannot be re-applied.

Expected Results:
Converting a base shape with the glow effect applied should not strip the glow affect, and not prevent the glow effect to be applied after the conversion.


Reproducible: Always

https://git.libreoffice.org/core/commit/3eac847927a0cdfa40c3fea38c473ed2ad7faecc
addressed this for text in shapes (and bug#161826 ), so there's been some
progress.

Indeed the original case in this issue still is open, though.
