            Bug ID: 130856
           Summary: Redaction feature in LibreOffice Draw is worthless
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.0.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Draw
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: larrywbradley at gmail.com

Description:
Whether using the rectangle or free-form redaction method, it is impossible to
do so in a color that is dark enough to hide the black text of the document,
which pretty well makes the redaction function worthless. On my Linux machine,
I choose the "blackest black" available, but in reality the color of the
redaction is dark grey, thus allowing anyone to see the text underneath the
redaction.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open pdf file in Draw.
2.Select one of the two redaction tools: Rectangle or freeform.
3.Redact the text.

Actual Results:
Using the darkest color available (black) to fill the redaction rectangle, or
as the free-form "brush" does not result in a "true-black" result; the color of
the redaction rectangle or free-form fill is actually a dark grey, thus making
it possible to see the black text of the redacted sections. 

Expected Results:
Expected to see a true redaction, one where you can no longer read the redacted
text.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
