Hatching tab in Area fill Line Spacing at max 9.90 cm, Line set to Single, and Line Colour set to same as background colour. Found a workaround where we save one pre set Hatching for each colour we use. Have one more question.Filling an Area with Colour have never worked for us in any OpenOffice version.

Can not find any Tool button, setting, or Forum post to fix this problem. Example Drawing a five pointed star using 'Polygon Filled' when drawing from point 1 to point 2 there is ONE line, when drawing from point 2 to 3 there should be two lines, not a triangle as we have now), when drawing from point 3 to 4 (you should see three lines), and after drawing 4 to 5 (there should be four lines) where double clicking while setting point 5 should anchor a fifth line back to starting point 1 automatically, and close the Area / star. Have updated through OpenOffice 4.1.7, 4.1.8, to 4.1.9, and the problem is exactly the same. The Area behaves while drawing almost like if you use 'Insert Points' from 'Edit Points' tool bar to expand the Area AFTER Area is closed. The Polygon/Free-Form shape behaves like if you have already closed the Area with double click at the last point. The Area of the Polygon is closed from second point on where you move one corner of a triangle around to set point three. There is a straight line anchored at/from the starting point to the cursor while drawing Polygon filled and Free-Form line filled. An unwanted automatic update in Windows 8.1 64 bit rebooted the computer and crashed OpenOffice 4.1.6 along with all custom hatching, gradients, and bitmap fills.
