Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 89945
Page Background Colour should include entire page not just margins

Hi, I'm using OOo 2.4.0 on Intel Pentium-IV with Windows SP2. I have noticed that whenever a page background colour is applied, the colour fills up only the page area enclosed within the margins. The area outside the margins remains in WHITE colour only. Say I have an A4 page with 2 cm margins on the top, bottom, left and right. I go to Format -> Page, select background , colour=YELLOW. What is next observed is that the page enclosed by the margins become yellow, while the rest of the page did not change colour. This is undesireable both because: a.) It looks bad, and b.) If I have to export the page to PDF with uniform page colour, then it is not possible to do so. I suggest that the "Page Background Colour" feature should be modified to colour the entire page and not just the margins.

I suggest this is a duplicate of Issue 9370, that covers the background color/ image in general. Also note that it affects compatibility, that should have been fixed with Issue 18247 but tested in 2.4 - Not working.
