TextBox showing up in print out when visible is set to false

I have a calc spreadsheet with a textbox I use as a watermark. In a macro I have set visible to false for this textbox (I don’t want to see it right now). It doesn’t show in the calc spreadsheet. It does not show in print preview mode. It does not show when I export to pdf. When I print through the menu, the textbox does show on the printout. Is this a bug? Am I missing something? I am running LibreOffice 7.4.6.2 on Mac OS 13.3.1.

Some printers can include a watermark from the printer driver settings. Could you also have set a watermark there? Cheers, Al

@MarkInDavis, could you upload an example of such an interesting file.

Welcome!

OK, let “Visible” is “No”

What about “Printable”?
