Description Eyal Rozenberg 2022-05-29 09:07:11 UTC
When we insert a table in Impress, by default, it has alternating row colors. However, when you enter Table Properties > Background - one can only select a single color, not a pair of them.
Comment 1 Eyal Rozenberg 2022-05-29 09:09:05 UTC
I should also mention I would expect a third setting, for the table header, although that's perhaps less critical if you can change it view selecting the header row and right-clicking.

This would be a dupe of bug 92234, which is Writer but there's bug 101802 so it should be the same.

So, not a dupe of that yet, since it's not the same UI (and that bug is not for all of LO)

That one is:

1. About the sidebar and
2. Not resolved yet

What you do is inflating number of bugs, without prior search or trying to understand what may or will not be done.  
DO NOT set Reopen when I or member of QA sets status. 
You may call someone else in CC if you disagree.

I don't care about the number of bugs. I do care about there being an open bug about outstanding issues. On the other hand, I could raise a similar question about your motivation: Are you sure you are not rushing to mark dupes because you disapprove of the number of bugs rising?

> without prior search

How do you know whether I've searched or not?

> or trying to understand what may or will not be done.

Not sure what you're talking about.

> DO NOT set Reopen when I or member of QA sets status.

Timur, I don't take orders from you.

The norm is, that confirmation (NEW status) requires acknowledgement/agreement by others. But the question of whether bugs are duplicates of each other is a matter for discussion.

> You may call someone else in CC if you disagree.

I will also do that; let's see what Regina says, for example. Or we could ask Heiko to chime in.

But you should not mark bugs as duplicates without a convincing argument regarding their being duplicates.

Again, I have no problem with this bug being marked a dupe if bug 92234 is expanded to also regard Impress/Draw, and that would be perfectly fair, but you should not try to make the issue "go away".

IIUC, that allows adding or editing a table style. This is about direct-formatting. I should see the two background colors in the table properties.
