A simple document with the three frames described in the bug report. Print as brochure to observe error.

Problem description: A frame with a white background loses its background when the document is printed as a brochure. The same document prints fine when not printed as a brochure, even if printed as 2 per sheet.

Steps to reproduce:
1. New document
2. Create a big frame with a blue background
3. Create two frames inside that frame: one with a white bg, the other with a green bg, both set to 30% transparency
4. Print to a file - all is well.
5. Print as a brochure (to a file or printer) - the white bg frame is missing.

If you set the bg transparency to 0% then it prints the white bg but only inside the margins, not right up to the border.

Current behaviour: white background of frames is lost when printing as a brochure (other colours are OK)

Expected behaviour: background should not be affected by page layout.

I've tried resizing the frames to avoid page edges, putting the bottom frame as "wrap/in background" nothing seems to help.

Workaround: save as a PDF and use acroread to print the document as a booklet.
Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 4.0.2.2 release

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the issue and document - I can confirm the behaviour.

( I took the frame with white from the larger one, and set it in front of text - easier to jugde for me +  a check that frame-in-frame was of no influence in this case ;) )

(Should be checked if it was OK in older versions, I think),

regards,
Cor

** Please read this message in its entirety before responding **

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

   *Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (4.4.1 or later)
   https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

   *If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior
 
   *If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System

Please DO NOT

   *Update the version field
   *Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
   *Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 

1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3)

http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug 
3. Leave a comment with your results. 
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from OOo"; 
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add "regression" to keyword
