Created attachment 184522 [details] example file with chart containing many area elements with colour fills A transparency gradient can be applied to a chart element from the sidebar but not from the format dialog. Steps: 1. Open attachment (or create a chart from scratch) 2. Double-click on chart to enter edit mode 3. Select an element with a coloured area (Title, Subtitle, Legend, Chart wall, Data series...), right-click and use the "Format <element>..." option 4. Transparency > Gradient (leave defaults) 5. Click OK Results: - In the dialog, the preview does not update to show a gradient (but it does if the transparency is solid) - After applying, the gradient does not apply to the area (but it does if the transparency is solid) - Opening the dialog again shows that the setting remains However, if this transparency gradient setting is applied from the sidebar, it works as expected. A colour gradient applied from the dialog works too. Tested in Writer and Calc on Linux and Windows, with a recent master build: Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 2eefb695c0bfd00abd22e17e64ab2a1692fe2af4 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Also present in: Version: 6.3.6.2 Build ID: 2196df99b074d8a661f4036fca8fa0cbfa33a497 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded But not in: Version: 6.2.0.0.beta1 Build ID: d1b41307be3f8c19fe6f1938cf056e7ff1eb1d18 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded
NOT reproducible with reporter's sample document and Installation of Version: 7.5.0.1 (X86_64) Build ID: 77cd3d7ad4445740a0c6cf977992dafd8ebad8df CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: de-DE Calc: Calc: threaded | Elementary Theme | Normal UserProfile I modified Subtitel to ellipsoid gradient transparency using context menu, worked without problems. Fixed in between? @Reporter: a) Please try Version 7.3.7 or later
I can also reproduce in the same build as you: Version: 7.5.0.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 77cd3d7ad4445740a0c6cf977992dafd8ebad8df CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Same with any transparency gradient applied from the Format dialog. Fresh profile. Curious as to why I can see it on both Ubuntu 20.04 and Windows 10 but you can't.
Turns out it affects all objects with coloured area, not just in charts. I just tried with a simple rectangle shape, same result: 1. Open e.g. Writer 2. Insert > Shapes > Basic Shapes > Rectangle 3. Trace a rectangle 4. Right click > Area > Transparency > Gradient: no effect. I also noticed the workaround that changing the transparency type in the sidebar fixes the dialog issue _for that shape_. So to reproduce, make sure you first try the Area dialog before using the sidebar. Bibisected to the following commit with the linux-64-6.3 repo: commit 278a60fe7bd2254a7c09c9d32317ff4f2aab752f author Tamás Zolnai <tamas.zolnai@collabora.com> Thu Sep 05 15:47:27 2019 +0200 committer Xisco Faulí <xiscofauli@libreoffice.org> Tue Sep 10 01:42:13 2019 +0200 tree 71f30cc3e65a50797aa4c0176ebdb18cf6df4105 parent e0932464fd8dc19de4f2c25bf9ef0812d8c02a64 tdf#127372: PPTX: Shape's background transparency changes during RT Reviewed-on: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/78657 ... which was fixing the regression in bug 127372.
I can confirm this in Version: 7.4.3.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 40(Build:2) CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 5.19; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb) Locale: pt-BR (pt_BR.UTF-8); UI: en-US Ubuntu package version: 1:7.4.3-0ubuntu0.22.10.1 Calc: threaded Using the dialog has no effect, but changing the transparency using the sidebar works as expected.
The issue is only that the default "End value" is 0% instead of 100%, the value it had before commit 278a60fe7bd2254a7c09c9d32317ff4f2aab752f. So it looks like the setting does nothing.
Dear Stéphane Guillou (stragu), 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.
