Re: header footer background images don't display on file reopen

This e-mail is to inform that the bug tdf#116382 [1] has been resolved
successfully. Now, the menu item Border and Background accessed from header
and footer drop-down menu opens the "Border/Background" dialog with a
different set of tabpages ( Borders, Area and Transparency). This should
not cause the problem of disappearance of header/footer background image
each time when the .odt file is saved and re-opened.

The patch has also resolved some other bugs: tdf#115457
<https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115457>, tdf#100503
<https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100503>. Affected
users are requested to please verify that these bugs have been resolved by
the patch [2] and thereafter update their status. As for me, it was really
a great experience resolving the bug and it would not have been possible
without Jim's help. I look forward to resolve more easyHacks on
LibreOffice. Loving the community so far!  ☺
