Description Joshua O'Leary 2011-09-11 04:43:04 UTC
As in upstream bug on launchpad:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/846381
Letters of Fontwork such as 'O' appeared coloured in on slideshow mode, if they use gradient or bitmap. This only happens when hardware acceleration (anti-aliasing) is enabled, however without this fontwork is blocky with jagged edges. Fontwork shadows are also distorted in slideshow mode. This happens in all Libreoffice versions.

started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back

Comment 6 Joshua O'Leary 2012-01-04 09:13:47 UTC
This bug has been filed under the Linux (ubuntu) build of Libreoffice, not the Windows build. A bug in the Linux build does not necessarily cause a bug in the Windows version, as the executable code is completely different between platforms.

Marking Status -> NEW based on new test results from Comment #7-14.
Comment 16 Joshua O'Leary 2012-08-22 15:22:22 UTC
Found a workaround for this bug when using gradients, that you have to apply to each fontwork object in turn:

[1] Make a fontwork object and set fill to gradient
[2] On the object:
    Right-click>Area...>Area>Untick 'Automatic' under 'Increments.
