Description nopainenogain12 2022-12-06 19:55:40 UTC
Description:
The same settings in version 7 do not work as in version 6 of Libreoffice Writer. Dark settings while typing are a must but the printer prints the page dark instead of it remaining white. Not usable this way.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.The steps to create dark mode--only affects top part of document
2.changing the doc to dark
3.I uninstalled LO, hoping to reinstall version 6 and find that not possible. I cannot be more specific.

Actual Results:
The printer prints the dark background instead of a white background, as in version 6.

Expected Results:
I expected to see a white paper printed with black type.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
I already uninstalled LO, hoping to reinstall version 6. Don't have that now.

Unable to reproduce on macOS with daily build.

Are you seeing the dark area you are referring to in print preview? If yes, could you attach a screenshot of that please.

Not sure where to put this: 

I found a solution after messing with it all day. I hit the reset button. LibreOffice > Options > Applications Colors....bottom reset button changed the page to how it should have displayed in print preview and when being printed...white.

I guess this is already seen in print preview, so you don't have to waste paper and ink when testing? And printing to file? There were many dark mode fixes, so you could try with 7.4.3 or even the unreleased 7.5. You can get a 7.5 alpha1 appimage from https://appimage.sys42.eu/prerelease/

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED, if the problem persists. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.
