Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a Writer document with Header and save it 2. Go to Header->Border and Background (blue button) and change anything there 3. Try to save The save button is not sensitive, so you need to change something else in order to save the document.
This is also the case in 3.5 and (probably) 3.6.
Can you clarify step 2? What I did (and couldn't reproduce) 1. Did your step 2. Went into styles and formatting, right clicked on Header and changed background color 3. Saved successfully I suspect I am missing what step 2 is, if you can just clarify that'll help.
You need to go via the blue button below the Header. Choose "Border and Background" via that button and then change anything there. Thanks for testing this.
ah I see. Confirmed. Marking as NEW (confirmed) Changing Priority: Minor: Doesn't prevent high quality work, just an inconvenience under specific circumstances Low: Only happens in one situation (changing color going through the blue header dialog that appears). Also very easy workarounds (just add/delete a character and save). Whiteboard: ProposedEasyHack I don't think that this will be too hard to fix Thanks for the update and for helping us out!
I will look into fixing this.
Patch submitted for review. To reproduce: ------------- 1. Open writer and create a header with Insert > Header > Default Style. 2. Type something into the header and save. 3. Click anywhere in the header and then click the blue button's dropdown arrow. 4. Click "Border and Background". 5. Change something. 6. Observe that the floppy disk (save) icon on the toolbar is not enabled. To test: -------- 1. Open writer and create a header with Insert > Header > Default Style. 2. Type something into the header and save. 3. Click anywhere in the header and then click the blue button's dropdown arrow. 4. Click "Border and Background". 5. Change something. 6. Observe that the floppy disk (save) icon on the toolbar is now enabled. What I changed: --------------- In HeaderFooterWin.cxx's SwHeaderFooterWin::ExecuteCommand(): after changes are made to the header's background, box, or shadow, I call SetModified(true) to signal that the document was modified.
