Created attachment 185494 [details] shape with 'rect' gradient Open attached document. It has a shape with gradient fill kind "rect" and center top-right and a screenshot of rendering in Word. Save the file back to docx without any change and open it in Word. Notice that the left part of the shape is green, but it should be violet. [The fact, that LO renders the fill different than Word, is another bug. I guess we have already a report for that.]
Reproducible. Microsoft® Word para Microsoft 365 MSO (versión 2301 compilación 16.0.16026.20002) de 64 bits Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 9788a565b3241d1bd62394b9e29c322361d05f80 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: es-ES (es_ES); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded Jumbo
Created attachment 185497 [details] saved as DOCX with LO 7.6 alpha0+ We don't need to open it again in Word to see the change: save as DOCX in LO and reload does it. Resulting file displays similarly in LO and Office 365.

Testing with the linux-64-releases bibisect repo: - up to version 4.2.8.2, gradient fill is replaced with purple solid fill; - since version libreoffice-4.3.0.0.beta1, issue as described in comment 0. So I assume this is since Jacobo's work in https://blogs.igalia.com/jaragunde/2014/06/tales-of-libreoffice-interoperability-shape-theme-colors-and-styles/
Bibisected with linux-64-43max. A bit of history: 1) At repo's oldest, shape fill is saved as solid purple. 2) Then it starts losing the whole object at [c506f2e2ba98a68692da4aa726d93464926d36e6] which is: commit 57450afb768c085df0ba2344aa94b5f843060178 author Miklos Vajna Tue Dec 03 11:59:42 2013 +0100 committer Miklos Vajna Tue Dec 03 15:39:04 2013 +0100 DOCX import: declare wps as a supported feature 3) At [1c87c74a7b0dfc63163bbd6f4317956ea75eac86], which is: commit cfb5b20cdc230320ff9f864d1cfd81aaea221da0 author Miklos Vajna Wed Dec 18 11:03:57 2013 +0100 committer Miklos Vajna Wed Dec 18 11:09:47 2013 +0100 DocxAttributeOutput::OutputFlyFrame_Impl: enable DML export by default ... gradient has green at top _left_ of shape - but this also true in previous commits when Experimental features are turned on. Not sure when it started, too many skipped commits. Maybe one of Miklos' DML Export commits from 2013. 4) As described in comment 0 (left half is green) since [8d8715d38826228d32a98f4e74348dc09ac4a6c5] which is: commit 2fcf3a871c94feeca11619ef5c8c0466ce61eb74 author Jacobo Aragunde Pérez Fri Jan 31 14:02:12 2014 +0100 committer Jacobo Aragunde Pérez Wed Feb 05 02:00:03 2014 +0100 ooxml: preserve gradient shape fill
Dear Regina Henschel, 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. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone! Warm Regards, QA Team MassPing-UntouchedBug
