and 11012?

That one certainly looks like a bug, yes.

But reading the code a bit, and especially this comment earlier in the
same function:

    // LO internal gradient -> PDF shading type:
    // * GradientStyle_LINEAR: axial shading, using sampled-function
with 2 samples
    // [t=0:colorStart, t=1:colorEnd]
    // * GradientStyle_AXIAL: axial shading, using sampled-function
with 3 samples
    // [t=0:colorEnd, t=0.5:colorStart, t=1:colorEnd]

I think it is obvious that the missing break in fact is intentional
there. Testing would have indicated that, I guess. Explicit comment preferrable than implicit 
debugging =).


(Whether translating LO gradients to PDF shading types in the way
indicated makes sense or not is a totally different question... Would
you want to work on that?) It's nice for me.


What do we learn from this? Don't immediately assume that what you or
your editor think is a bug is not intentional. Instead, think harder,
and if necessary, test what the code actually does at run-time. I always check warnings. Implicit 
and non-default behaviour should be documented or made explicit.
