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.

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.
