Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 119276
Line color of the face symbol is lost on copy/paste to another drawing.

select drawing => select face symbol in "Symbol Shapes" => Click on edit style => Select line color as red => Click on OK => Open another drawing => Copy the symbol from the first drawing and paste it in the second drawing. The pasted symbol line color is still grey not red.

ALG: Nothing wrong here. When you 'edit style' and not change the object's line color directly, you change the style the object is using. If not changed, this is the default style (to check, see format/stylesAndFormatting or F11). If you have other objects with lines and their line color was not set directly (no hard attribute) these also use the default style and should also have turned red. When copying the object is copied including the hard attributes (not set for line color in this case) and the style ('default'). When inserting, the style is searched for in the target document and used. In the target document that style is not changed, so the line color set there is used. It is part of the concept of styles that these attributes get not copied with the object. It currently is copied when copying to Writer or Calc since these apps do not have a styles concept for draw objects (for whatever reason...)
Reproduced in win7, I didn't find any problem. Regards.
