<pre>Description:
When you put a bitmap image as background of a table cell, most of the times
you are using a small tile image that you want to repeat along the whole cell.
In recent LO releases, this option is called "Mosaico" (I suppose it will be
"tile" in English). However this option is not saved anymore, and on saving and
reopening the document, you get invariably a single instance of the bitmap, in
the center of the cell. After that, style settings of the cell are in disarray
and you cannot change it to "tile" back again. This actually makes using tables
with background impossible.
If you regularly create and use documents with tables that have backgrounds,
like I do, this actually makes Writer unusable and is sadly reason enough to
downgrade.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new writer doc. In it, create a table with quite larger cells (for
example, create a 1-column table and then increase the height of a cell,
pressing the Return key with the cursor in it)
2. Now go to Table properties dialog window, and move to the "background" tab,
choosing the Bitmap option. Import any small bitmap of your own, or even choose
one the tiles already available, e.g. the water drops or the brick wall.
3. Now choose "tile" as the style. The cell will be completely and correctly
filled with the bitmap.
4. Save and reopen. The bitmap in the cell will be shown centered, covering a
small fraction of the whole cell background. The Style listbox will not show
"tile" as its setting but the "personalised size and settings" option (this is
a translation from Italian, the English exact wording could vary).
5. Even worse, if you select or put cursor in the cell and put style to "tile"
again, this time the command is ignored. The bitmap remains centered. The only
way to get a tiled background again is to change to another image, and then
change again to your desired image. Of course this is useless since the setting
will go berserk again when you save and reopen.
Actual Results:
Table cells background settings do not work reliably
Expected Results:
You should be able, as in all previous releases up to 6.0, to manage table
cells background as expected
Reproducible: Always
