That does not fit to my experiments. The Button "Double-Sided" sets the 
attribute dr3d:backface-culling. The Button "Double-Sided Illumination" 
sets the attribute dr3d:lighting-mode in the boolean version.

I do not find any UI or code which corresponds to the dr3d:lighting-mode 
in the double-sided/standard version.

'Textures'>'Mode' is total different in my experiments. It corresponds 
to the attribute dr3d:texture-mode, which has the values "blend", 
"modulate" and "replace" in ODF. Whatever that means, it seems, it is 
not what LibreOffice does, but LibreOffice writes this attribute. 
Anyway, "Textures" is another matter.

There is indeed something wrong with 'Textures'. Formerly "Mode" had two 
states, now it has three, but I cannot use the third, right choice.

Not only the dialog. It seems to me, that the whole 3D is a mess in 
regard to ODF. And it will be hard to get ODF and LibreOffice 
implementation aligned.

Kind regard
