--- Comment #8 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu) <stephane.guillou at libreoffice.org> ---
If you later enter edit mode in the chart, modify the chart area and give it
some transparency, you will see the area fill in the background.

Note that this is not just from the sidebar:
1. Select a chart object
2. Format > Text box and shape > Area > Area tab

It makes sense that some sidebar settings affect the object as a whole (e.g.
shadow should be the shadow of the whole object, projected onto the sheet. Line
creates an outer border...), but there is (perceived?) inconsistency for that
Area deck/tab when a chart is selected: e.g. if transparency is applied, it
only affects that background layer, not the whole chart.

Design team, what are your thoughts? Should the Area deck of the sidebar when a
chart is selected affect the chart area instead of the object area that's
behind it?

I think we need to leave the menu "Format > Text box and shape" untouched for
backward compatibility, so documents making use of it can still be amended.
It's already unavailable in the context menu, which is good, but we can't
completely hide it away.
