Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 102375
OpenOffice does not respect layering after saving and reopening file
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:18:07 UTC
In the file linked below, OpenOffice does not respect the layering of drawing items on top of an image. In this specific example, on page 53 of this document (Figure 4-7) is a frame with a caption that is set to display As Character. Within this frame is an image. If you click "Send to Back" on the image, you'll see that there are three callouts that show up. After the document is saved and re-opened, however, these callouts disappear, reverting to being behind the image. I've tested this on OpenOffice 3.1 on Macintosh and OpenOffice 3.0 on Ubuntu.
Also, I ran this through the ODF Validator at tools.odftoolkit.org/odfvalidator and recieved the following errors (though I do not know what they mean or how to fix them within OpenOffice): Result for Service Installation.odt This file is NOT valid Result details: upload:///Service Installation.odt/content.xml[2,184189]:Error:attribute "text:start-value" has a bad value: "-1" does not satisfy the "nonNegativeInteger" type upload:///Service Installation.odt/content.xml[2,205905]:Error:attribute "text:start-value" has a bad value: "-1" does not satisfy the "nonNegativeInteger" type upload:///Service Installation.odt/content.xml[2,277775]:Error:attribute "text:start-value" has a bad value: "-1" does not satisfy the "nonNegativeInteger" type upload:///Service Installation.odt/content.xml[2,312469]:Error:attribute "text:start-value" has a bad value: "-1" does not satisfy the "nonNegativeInteger" type upload:///Service Installation.odt:Info:validation errors found upload:///Service Installation.odt:Info:Generator: OpenOffice.org/3.1$Unix OpenOffice.org_project/310m11$Build-9399

Open attached file. Send both pictures to back. Notice the callouts. Save the document and close it. Open the document. Notice that the first picture is in front again. I have tested it with DEV300m48 on WinXP. I find no reason for that behavior. @kenpardue: It is impolite to provide a 36MB document. You should have reduced it to those pictures, which show the error.
Ineffectual to remove the other content. When I tried removing the text before and after some of the offending pictures, it started working. Thought it was better to give you guys the raw file to look at.
OD: Please have a look. Well, whan I open the file in OOo 3.1 I see no call-outs - despite what Regina describes. I have to send the pictures to the back to make them appear. Then Save, Reload -> Some of them are again behind the picture.
Also, I have noticed that it appears only when the containing frame is set to anchor "As Character." When the containing text frame is set to anchor "To Character," "To Paragraph," or "To Page," the layering is respected.
