Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 34690
Edit Styles on drawing objects affects all objects rather than selected object

I've reproduced this on StarOffice 7 for Solaris and NeoOffice/J 1.1 alpha for Mac OS X. In presenter, create 2 boxes. Select a box Right Click > Edit Styles Click Transparency tab Set transparency to custom, some percentrage. Now try to set the transparency of the other object and you will find that it is already set the same as the first. User should be able to set transparency for each object separately.
This behaviour is intended. This is the styles concept of Openoffice. Every object you draw is part of the default style unless you change it (call up the Navigator with F11 to see). So if you change this style (edit styles) every object belonging to this style will change automatically. If you want to change the attribute of a single object select it and go to format/area or use the context menu to change it.
