Oh, I've been complaining for years.  My bug for not being able to set a Draw
document's dimensions in pixels was dismissed as not a bug years ago.

Demonstrably, from what I gather -- from off-hand comments I've seen planted on
bug reports I've created -- is there is no great culture of graphics
enthusiasts among the developers. Their biggest concern is the spreadsheet
functionality. Everything else seems to be a side matter. There should be no
reason why there are bug reports outstanding more than two years old.

Best thing to ever happen would be if the Document Foundation hired the creator
of Paint.net, Rick Brewster, to undertake a a complete and comprehensive
from-the-ground-up overhaul of the raster processing in LibreOffice, starting
with the transparency treatment in MS Windows, and to finally build some
honest-to-God layering rather than what passes for layers now in LO (can't move
layers around, can't set transparency properties on layers, but I can still
paste content onto a locked layer, that's unique, oh, and hidden layers export
ANYWAY).

I like using open-source products, LibreOffice, GIMP, Digicam, Krita, and
Inkscape among them. And I'm vocal when they need improvement. 

This is one of those times.
