Draw — 3D Effects

There is one tool in Draw that appears to have no function at all. This is 3D-Effects.
It appears when you right click on a 3D object and also appears in Visible Buttons.
I have tried using 3D-Effects several times in different situations, but getting no response.
Can this be removed from Draw if it has no function?

Hi Peter,

I added my own test results to the bug report, but I can not reproduce
your findings, and I tested on a MBPRo. Unfortunately, I don't have
access to any of my MacMinis at the moment.

Irrespective of whether I access the 3D Effects dialog via right mouse
button click on a selected 3D object, or via a corresponding button
added to the Draw toolbar, the 3D Effect dialog is displayed when I call
it. In the second case, I don't even need to have selected an object, it
is sufficient just to have the Draw page containing the 3D object in focus.

Hello Alex

I have just added a comment to the bug report.

I think there is a compatibility issue between macOS Catalina 10.15 and LibreOffice 6.4.3 that includes how LO operates. I do not have the software skills to investigate. This compatibility issue may also include macOS Mojave 10.14, but I cannot test this.

I installed LO 6.4.3 on my very old Mac Mini that runs macOS High Sierra 10.13 and everything appears to be working OK, including the 3D Effects dialog and all its functions. I cannot use my old Mac Mini For LO work because it runs my TV setup so that I can watch UK TV here in Poland.

The only conclusion I make is compatibility issue.
