Description jbotte 2004-01-09 21:08:47 UTC 
On both the View->Display Quality->Greyscale and when printing out slides with
the "Greyscale" option, the background intensity is reversed (i.e. a dark blue
background becomes white), the text is reversed (i.e. white text is black), but
the graphics (in my particular case the real troublemaker was white lines) do
not reverse intensity. This meant that on drawings that I did as part of my
presentation, which used white lines on a dark background (high contrast), when
I tried to print, it was white lines on a white background. I would have
expected the intensity of the lines (and the other graphics in general) to be
reversed along with the other page components...

thorsten, can we do anything clever about this issue?

In order to reproduce the default described above I followed these steps.

1) click file->new presentation, select empty presentation, press next,
2) select dark blue with orange for the slide design, press create
3) select a slide design where you can add text (ex the second layout)
4) click format-> line and make sure the colour is set to white
5) in the drawing tool bar at the bottom of the screen select the line button
6) click a point on the slide and drag a line across the slide
7) you should see a slide with  a dark blue background and a white line
8) click view-> colour and select greyscale

The display should be a slide with a white background and the line should be
missing.  This is the same output that is printed with the greyscale selected. 
To reproduce the printing of the greyscale follow these steps.

9) click file->print->options and select greyscale

This defect would be very disappointing to users who do not check their print
preview.  They will only realize after printing that some of their pages that
had white lines and shapes did not appear as they wished.

In addition to reproducing this error I ran some follow up tests.

Test 1 – Check whether white text on a dark background is displayed properly in
the greyscale view.  This test showed that the text was displayed properly with
the white text becoming dark text in greyscale.

Test 2 – Check to see if shapes with a white outline and white fill are
displayed correctly in greyscale.  This test showed that even shapes are
effected by the display in greyscale.  For example a white rectangle on a dark
blue background in the colour view will not be displayed in the greyscale view.

Test 3 – Check to see if the same problem exits when the view is changed to
black and white.  This test showed that the problem does not occur when the view
was changed to black and white.

These tests were run with:
Linux 2.4.31 and OOo 1.1
Windows XP and OOo 2.0
