[Issue 125382] New: Onscreen Dropshadow on colored text is wrongly the identical color, hence blurry and ineffectual (major). Worked previously as black shadow in Writer and Calc.

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=125382

          Issue ID: 125382
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Onscreen Dropshadow on colored text is wrongly the
                    identical color, hence blurry and ineffectual (major).
                    Worked previously as black shadow in Writer and Calc.
           Product: Writer
           Version: 4.1.0
          Hardware: All
                OS: Mac OSX, 10.8
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: formatting
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: peter@theawakeningtree.com

Dropshadow colors are no longer correctly black. Dropshadow colors are now
coming out indentical to the foreground font-effect colour. This means the drop
shadow effect is non-existent and not actually occuring. Instead the effect is
just creates a blur on the screen.

To reproduce this bug:
- type any text in writer or calc
- select text and format the font-effect
- change the color of the text
- select dropshadow

Expected results:
- black drop shadow on colored text

Actual results:
- colored drop shadow (hence no drop shadow)

Additional information:
It's a a major problem because anyone using this feature will actually be
relying on it's display effects. It's a complete block for some people who
cannot print their materials without the dropshadow effect working. It is a
common and basic word-processing effect and possibly will effect reliability
reviews of Open Office.

This occurs on my Mac OSX 10.8.5 and perhaps other platforms.

There is a workaround to copy a text label and layer it slightly off centre
with a different color. This workaround is not possible in Calc as the text is
necessarily inside the cells.

--- Comment #1 from Peter Cohen <pe...@theawakeningtree.com> ---
Saving to PDF yields the correct expected result of a blackshadow on light
coloured text and a light shadow on dark colored text.

Perhaps the correct expected result would also occur on printing.

So also a problem with WYSIWYG in Open Office.
