Created attachment 99094 [details] Screenshot of the Options dialog What's the meaning of the checkbox (Warn about) "Transparency" in the Options dialog (see attached screenshot)? With OpenOffice 3.2.1, for example, when checked you got a warning "Your document contains transparent objects. This may lead to longer printing times on certain printers. Should the aspect of transperency be reduced?" when printing a document with transparend objects (and no such warning if unchecked). In LO, you get no warning no matter if this checkbox is checked or unchecked. Furthermore, I can't find a corresponding text/dialog, and I can't find any evaluation of the checkbox. (The only calls to IsTransparency and SetTransparency are - as far as I can see - to set the checkboxes state correctly when the dialog is initialized.) So if there really is no use of this setting, wouldn't it be better to remove the checkbox, in order not to confuse the users?
