Description Gordo 2015-03-19 16:16:17 UTC
1. New Text Document.
2. Format → Page → Area → Fill → Bitmap → Sky (or any other bitmap).
3. Switch to Transparency tab.
4. Switch back to Area tab.
Result:
Bitmap is set to Blank.

Even if you select Sky and OK, when you go back in to format the page and switch tabs it resets to Blank.

Not reproduced.

Maybe you could try this: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User_Profile#Resolving_corruption_in_the_user_profile

Comment 2 Gordo 2015-03-21 20:36:30 UTC
Just about every time that I look at reproducing a bug, all I do is find another.  This bug started off with footer backgrounds.  What I thought I found also happened for the page as a whole.

To clarify, I was referring to the UI settings resetting.

With a new profile, when opening up the document the UI settings changed from bitmap to color for the Page.  I have not been able to reproduce that.

However...

1. New Text Document.
2. Insert -> Footer.
3. Format Footer -> Footer tab -> More button -> Area -> Bitmap -> Sky -> Okays.
4. Save, close, and reopen document.
Result:
No background in footer.
5. Format Footer -> Footer tab -> More button -> Area.
Result:
Fill is set to Color (hmm, no localisation with the language) -> Tango: Sky Blue 1. 

I think this might be a dupe.

Comment 3 Mads 2015-05-27 07:27:00 UTC
I see the same behaviour, but I'm on 4.4.0.3 right now...

I guess I should try to reset the userprofile, but I see the same problem when I import a graphic to use as a bitmap.
Comment 4 Mads 2015-05-27 07:33:29 UTC
Nope, same problem with new userprofile too.

Bitmap settings and transparancy settings are not stored in page style, so if I set "Size: Relative, Width: 75 %, Height: 75 %" in the Area tab, and then 90 % transparancy in the transparancy tab, then none of these settings are saved when I save, close and reopen the document. They work before I close the document though.

The area tab resets itself if I switch between them too, as Gordo originally described.
Comment 5 Buovjaga 2015-05-27 10:03:39 UTC
Thanks for testing, I'll set to NEW.

Seems to have been some work, not reproducible on current master, i.e. for 5.1.0

Tested it again with libreoffice-5.2.0.4 on gentoo (64 bit), it seems to stick now.
Comment 9 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2017-12-26 17:30:11 UTC
May be the behavior changed a little with Version: 5.2.0.4 (x64)
