Description Rolf Eder 2013-07-24 10:52:12 UTC

Create a new drawing in LibO with UI in default English (USA).
Insert a layer named "Hintergrund".
Save the drawing.
Change the UI language to German (Germany).
Restart LibO and open the drawing.
The layer "Hintergrund" is missing.

The same happens when you insert a layer "Background" in the German UI and then switch to English.

The contents of the vanished layer are moved to the default layer "Layout".

It is in general not possible to insert a layer "Background" in UI English or "Hintergrund" in UI German. A MsgBox opens: "The name chosen already exists. Please enter another name."

These layer names are reserved in their respective language. Switching the UI language bypasses this function.

This may be considered as a bug in multi language environments and complex drawings with many layers. Beware the special names ...

drawing to test

Hi Dolf,

thanks for the report.
I started the attached in Dutch, with layer "NieuweLaag" added.
Opening when changed the UI language to English, works fine...
So I cannot confirm this (in 4.0.4.2)

Hello

I reproduce on windows 7/64 with Versie: 4.2.0.2 
Build ID: cd65d6220c5694ee7012d7863bcde3455c9e3c30

I have created custom layers in the attached layer.odg:
- Achtergrond
- Arrière-plan
- Background
- Hintergrund

"Achtergrond" can be created with UI english but will not be visible in UI Dutch.
Same with the others: "Arrière-plan" & French, "Hintergrund" & German.

Regards
Pierre-Yves
