Hi.

I seem to have a issue with openoffice and animations.

When i create impress files with animations like "fly in" then they get black or white background (where it should be transparent)
more info and bug report here: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=50731

Could you please try to replicate the issue ? I hope it's not just my installation.

if you cant replicate the issue, please post your emerge info.

EDIT: This issue has a solution, scoll down to se it.

I tried a few fly-in samples in a new presentation using openoffice-bin 1.9.109. Same results as you have experienced, black background for the text until in reached it's 'destination', where the background became transparent again. This was also true when using the your file available from the link above.

For whats it's worth, I can confirm the error.

Thanks !

Would you be so kind to write it in the bug on openoffice.org ?
The funny thing is that the bug is not present in the windows version (1.9.113).

If they fix the bug, then i no longer have to use windows in vmware just to use openoffice

Same thing with all applications under wine/cedega/crossover .. Backgrounds that should be transparent are black ... This behavior was introduced for me right after updating from xorg-x11-6.8.2-r1 to 6.8.2-r2 ... And it's still the same with 6.8.99.14.

I changed back to xorg-x11 6.8.2-r1 and the problem is solved.

I no longer have black backgounds on images, text, animations or other.
i tested with xorg nv driver and nvidia's own driver - and both works perfect.

It must be a patch in xorg-x11 6.8.2-r2 and after that bugs.

I can confirm the behaviour on 32 bit, both with the nv as well as the nvidia driver for the black background in i.e. the question dialogs.

Using xorg-x11-6.8.99.14.

I think you'd be best off filling in a bug report on gentoo bugzilla, I don't really think it's Oo's fault.
