Created attachment 83503 [details] Draw file with screen shots and explanations Problem description: When adding a graphical element (like a rectangle) or a text box (created by the T-icon) into a Writer file and writing text into such an element, the text cannot be read because the entire text area is black. This happens when the page background is Graphic and an emf-file is used. Steps to reproduce: 1. open a writer file 2. format > page > background > graphic > select a emf-file 3. add a text box (eg. rectangle or text box from toolbar) 4. start typing => text area blackens When changing the page background to Color (any or No Fill) the text is visible during typing. In a textbox created in with the T icon, sometimes the entire text area is black and sometimes only the actual line, The cause for this different behavior is not understood yet. The chance starts suddenly while typing. The same bug was reported around 22-Nov-2012 and followed up for a while. However at that moment in time the influence of the background of the page was not recognized. Today I could observer this influence and could repeat it several times with older files and completely new files. I could not find the old bug to reopen it, thus created a new bug. Current behavior: When background of a page is Graphic, text in inserted graphical elements can not be read during typing Expected behavior: The text can be written during typing even when page background is Graphic Operating System: Windows XP Version: 4.0.4.2 release
