Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 26516
"Edit Styles -> Area -> Color" does not affect selected element, but entire document

In a Drawing document that contains multiple elements. One element (eg rectangular box) is selected. The context menu for this element is opened, and "Edit Styles..." is chosen. In the "Area" tab, the "Color" value is changed. The dialogue window is closed using the "OK" button. The new color setting should effect only the active element. But is doesnt! Instead, all *other* elements in the document are changed.
Sorry, but this is not a bug. Normally all new objects are drawn with the standard style of the stylist (F11 to open). When you change this standard style all other objects belonging to this style will change, too. If you just want a single rectangle changed setup an own style for it or use context menu /area to change the filling. Thanks for your help.
Closed.
