Created attachment 172154 [details] File to reproduce wrong shadow direction Open attached document and save it in docx-format. Open the saved document in Word. Error: In the original document the shadow goes bottom-right from the shape, in Word it goes bottom-left.
Created attachment 172155 [details] Screenshot compare left LO vs right MSO The screenshot shows LibreOffice on the left side and MS Office on the right side.
Confirming with: Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: e76292edc1d7e70ffa3f3940dc635581eb1a121b CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: hu-HU (hu_HU); UI: en-US Calc: threaded The shadow appears mirrored in Word with the saved docx, but not in Writer.
Created attachment 172577 [details] Impress document with the same problem Impress has the same problem, try with the attached presentation. I know the reason in the meantime. MS Office rotates the shadow together with the shape, but LibreOffice rotates first the shape and then creates the shadow. OOXML has the attribute "rotWithShape" in the "outerShdw" element. It defaults to "true", so MS Office interprets a missing attribute as "true". For the way LibreOffice creates the shadow, the attribute needs to be exported as rotWithShape="false".

It is a partly fix of the problem for the case of exporting odt to docx. For a whole fix, bug 142858 has to be fixed too.
