Description Joachim Kreutzer 2021-10-22 09:04:17 UTC
Description:
If rotate any shape, the fill gradient doesn't affect the rotation. This is ok.

But, the rotation of the fill gradient can be forced when the shape is 'convertet to Meta'.

Since Version 7.0, this isn't working anymore.
But however, if you export the shape with pdf, or if you print it, the Rotation of the fill gradient is still be done.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Draw an Rectangle
2. Choose fillstyle: axial, 0°
3. Convert to metafile
4. Rotate it, for example 30°



Actual Results:
Problem: the axial fillstyle stays at 0°.

This behavior ist new since Version 7.0

Expected Results:
The axial fillstyle should rotate by 30°.




Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
If you choose pdf-export, the fill style is rotated correctly by 30°!

This does not seem to be a regression as it behaves the same way in 3.3.0, 6.4 and the oldest of 7.0 bibisect repo (tested on Windows). Also seen on Linux. But I don't know if this is a limitation of the metafile format. Some developer could look into this.

Dear Joachim Kreutzer,

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:

If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:

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
