With the latest libreoffice-5-0 branch: 1) Start Writer. 2) Format -> page -> area -> fill -> bitmap 3) Select e.g. sky 4) Uncheck "tile" 5) Uncheck "autofit", OK to close the dialog 6) Save as ODF styles.xml of the resulting .odt file has: <style:page-layout-properties ... style:repeat="no-repeat"> <style:background-image ... style:repeat="stretch"/> </style:page-layout-properties> It's a task for the importer to decide in this case which one has priority, but we should not produce such output ourselves.

Master is not affected, the cleanup commit 18a712d2b3fe03629e00868ce17226994b7b7252 fixes this as a side-effect, setting both XML attributes to style:repeat="no-repeat" as expected. It's now cherry-picked to libreoffice-5-0, marking as resolved.
