Description: When a text is given a shadow in Draw, it falls to its lower right. I would expect that, if the text is turned, the relative position of the shadow would move along. It stays, however, on the absolute lower right, resulting in a weird relief effect when the text is rotated 180 degrees. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make a text box. Write text in a light colour, like yellow or white. 2. Give the text a shadow effect 3. Rotate the text box 180 degrees Actual Results: The shadow remains in the absolute lower right (and so, the rotated text's upper left Expected Results: The shadow's relative position to the text should be maintained Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: [Information automatically included from LibreOffice] Locale: en-GB Module: DrawingDocument [Information guessed from browser] OS: Linux (All) OS is 64bit: yes
Thank you Matthijs. I can see the same in: Version: 7.5.0.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 77cd3d7ad4445740a0c6cf977992dafd8ebad8df CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-GB (en_GB); UI: en-GB Calc: threaded ...but I'm not sure it is something that needs fixing. In a way, having all text shadows facing the same direction as a default makes sense, giving the impression that the "light" is coming from the same source. It is consistent with shapes (including the text box). Although more configurable, the shape shadows will have a shadow direction that is constant relative to the page (i.e. the direction will not "follow" the rotation of the object). Same thing in Writer.
