When applying a drop shadow to a table in Impress, the drop shadow also applies to text within an unrelated text box on the same slide. This persists after removing the style from the table and the text box must be re-instantiated.

Hi Anthony, please provide exact step by step procedure to reproduce the problem.
Comment 2 Anthony Dobaj 2013-08-30 20:46:18 UTC
1- new presentation
2 - insert table of any size
3 - right click -> edit style (Note: first time doing this causes the active
area to stop responding, clicking to the notes tab and then back to the normal
tab makes the active area respond once again)
4 - showdowing tab -> tic add shadow
5 - add text box using the text tool (F2)
6 - text appears shadowed when unselected

is there another way to add shadow to a table?

Just to make sure anyone reproduce with some steps :)

I can confirm that behavior with LO 4.0.5.2 (Win7 32bit). 

Use shadow seems not independent to a frame. Adding new table after that also reproduce shadow to the new table.

There is not a shadowing tab anymore. Edit style opens a toolbar where you can change properties. Table properties gives Format cells - Font Effects - Shadow.

Could not repro the text shadow. WFM.

Argh, I was too fast, disregard my previous comment. I had to deselect the table and then select it as an object again and then Edit styles brought up the dialog.
Could repro the text shadowing.

In LO 6.3 I don't see context menu item "edit style" and there isn't Shadow tab in table properties dialog also

Buovjaga, how can I retest it?
Comment 9 Buovjaga 2019-04-12 16:11:41 UTC
From the menu: Format - Styles - Edit style

But now I understand that this was just a user confusion regarding styles and unfortunately in 2015 I was somehow naive. It is editing the Default style, so of course it will affect all boxes. Let's close.

To original reporter, if they are still listening: create a new style, assign it to your table and then use that unique style for shadows.
