Description napaloni 2006-10-04 11:50:50 UTC 
Hi!

I am currently editing a document which uses fields. It was a long document, but
I reduced it to two text lines, one which defines a field, the second one using
the field (I'm going to attach it...)

Now to the problem:
I can't enable "field shading". I tried it from the menu, I found the color
configuration dialog and tried giving it a different color and enabling it from
there, and I enabled/disabled use of OpenGL, but fields can't be enabled in this
document. Even when the cursor is left to the field, I see no shading at all.
The reference itself works perfect: if I change text and press F9 the change is
reflected immediately.

An update to OpenOffice 2.0.3 (SuSE Linux 10.1) didn't change the situation, so
it seems I have a document which is broken in some way.

If I create a new OO Writer document, all fields I insert are colored in the
color I configured for shaded fields earlier, and I can enable/disable field
shading as desired, so it really is my other document which must be broken.

BTW the document is originally converted from PDF by KWord and then edited in
OpenOffice.

I hope this feedback is useful in finding some bugs... :)

Sincerely,
Walter Zimmer

There is also a hint from Hagar de l'Est here:
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?p=177545

He suspects that the background color of the "default" style
is set to white (by KWord) and causes this behaviour. Although,
he can't see a way to change it.

Should we still take the unability to change it as a bug or
is the problem solved now?
Comment 5 napaloni 2006-10-05 09:55:18 UTC 
Confirmed: If the default style is edited, the background character color of the
default style can be set from white to "no fill" which fixed this problem.

Therefore, now I know how KWord defines its default style, I know how to change
it so it works for OpenOffice, so it works for me.

However, maybe a fix to make this somehow more transparent might be a good idea.
Maybe the field shading should override the background coloring in any case?
Thereofore the prio is set to P4.
