Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 26933
Impress Master Page Doesn't Save Title Gradient
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:55:42 UTC
A new gradient applied to the title text box on the Master Page works fine but is never saved (another gradient is shown instead). The new gradient is named "Gradient Title", saved, and is always there in the list of gradients. Reselecting "Gradient Title" for the Master Page title box always restores it but it is again lost at the next save. I am using 1.1.1rc3 under Redhat Linux 9 on Intel.
Reassigned to Christian.
correcting version field to 1.1.1RC
hmm, could not reproduce with 1.1.1 linux build could you maybe give a step by step description including a screenshot?

In past, original file could not be re-saved after setting gradient (it acted as if nothing had been changed and so it would not re-save). Just now, after trying to resave many times over past month, if finally worked. Now, the correct gradient has been saved. In a new file, a similar problem occurred: after changing the gradient in the title box in the master view, the doc could not be re-saved. However, changing something else (e.g., text) enabled the resave. Summary: Saving is not always enabled when the change has been to the gradient in the title box on the master page. Not saving the change meant a later display had the old gradient.
as pointed out in issue 26932, the title object on the masterpage is only a placeholder for title objects that are part of presentation layouts on the drawing pages. Only the position and size of this placeholder is used for initial placing title objects on master pages. Formatings on placeholders on the masterpage are not inhereted by the title shapes on the drawing pages. It is an issue that you can set formatings like gradients on the placeholder shapes, this should not be possible or at least sets these attributes directly to the corresponding presentation styles like the title style. This already works for most attibutes, I'm not sure why it does not work for gradients. We will have to fix this
set to new
All settings on the masterpage get assigned in the correspomding Style in the stylist. therefore we should also assign the settings for the title object and the outline text object in the corresponding styles.
Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
