All my footer background images are lost in the upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4 (when the document is opened). This is trivial to reproduce: 1. Create a document 2. Add a footer 3. Format the footer background 4. Select a background image either linked or embedded 5. The background image appears 6. If you open up the background settings, the background is lost, but still visible. 7. Save the document and re-open it. Your background is lost. Old documents from 4.3 open correctly, but as soon as they are saved the image is lost. This is a critical bug for me and means I have to revert to 4.3
Reproducible for me with LibreOffice 4.4.1.0.0+ built at home under Ubuntu 14.10 x86-64. Works as expected with filling color but not with background image. Best regards. JBF
Hi David, Works fine for me in 4.4.1.2 on Ubuntu. Can you pls check in that version too? thanks - Cor
