File example

Problems arrive with an image set as "background" :
* When a paragraph is set with an border & shadow, shadow isn't see "over" the image
* When a paragraph is set with a background, background doesn't apply to the image.

*Last problem isn't VIEWING : when text is over the image, we can't select the text. We can place the cursor but impossible to select some text.

Theses problems apply to OO.o and LibreOffice

Effect is [reproducible] with "LibreOffice 3.3.1  – WIN7  Home Premium  (64bit) English UI [OOO330m19 (build 8 / tag 3.3.1.2)]"

I created a test kit containing a text document "without frills":
- picture with green elements covers all text as expected
- UNEXPECTED: transparent gif picture with yellow elements and intransparent 
  png image with blue elements cover text paragraph shadow 

Bug or feature?
I believe it's a bug. When you create a shadow for the yellow elements image, you will see that the text paragraph shadow will be covered by the image shadow. how can the shadow of an element in the background of the text cover the shadow of an element in the foreground?

I believe it's the same problem for all platforms.

Was more or less the same behavior with OOo 1.1.4, so it seems to be a minor problem.

Really your area? Please feel free to reassign if I was wrong

I confirm the latter problem pointed by Guilhelm, that is the fact that one can't select the text above the picture sent to back and it is still true for Libreoffice 3.5.4.2 on Ubuntu_x64. 
About the bad shadow overlap I guess probably this not a bug but a try to apply weird editing logic, as is: if a paragraph drop a plain shadow means is not transparent so trying to put an image below the text is similar to put under a plain sheet of paper, therefore we could not see it.
