            Bug ID: 144018
           Summary: Character transparency is reset to 0% when set to 100%
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.2.0.4 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

The semi-transparent text feature [1] has the control on the Font Effects
dialog page [2]. The control allows entries from 0 to 100%, but for 100%, the
result is that the text is not transparent, and re-opening the dialog after
setting 100% gives 0%.

Having transparency of 100% could be useful, e.g. for the text that needs to be
invisible, but occupy space. This is different both from making its color white
(which would make the text visible on non-white text, esp.
gradients/bitmaps/etc.), and from making it hidden (which makes the text not
occupy space, with following data moving up when printing).

However, if there is a reason to disallow 100% transparency, then the control
needs to be adjusted to not allow entry of 100%.
