In Write mode:

In Print mode:

Anyone who has a clue why this happens?

These are the para-settings, with a white background.

The PDF output is like Print mode.

Any reason you haven’t updated to Dorico 6.2.20? I have a vague memory of something related being fixed.

Jesper

Specific background colors to paragraph styles do work as expected in v 6.2.2.

Yes, I’m in the middle of a large project, and it might affect the remaining scores relative to the ones already made. Hopefully, 7.0 will be out soon-ish, and I can run 6 and 7 simultaneously.

Are you using Color, or Mono…?

I use Mono

You may need to use Color to get the White background.

I don’t see any relevant fixes listed in 6.2.20 Version History.

6.2.10 has a fix to Paragraph Styles that contain both border and backgrounds, but it doesn’t mention printing.

“Point” updates don’t normally cause any problems, except very rarely if there’s a regression. You can always keep a copy of the earlier version, or restore from a backup if necesssary.

Yes, you are correct! Turning on Color instead of Mono fixed it.

I see the logic in that the “colour white” is not used in Mono mode.

Perhaps there should be a “Paper” alternative in Dorico as there are in Illustrator for this case, working both in Mono and Color.
