OK, on AOO420m1(Build:9820) - Rev. 1853744 2019-02-17_20:20:13 - Rev. 1853770 just now installed (old profile used): The Frame toolbar shows on Linux deb 64 when a frame is selected. I can link frames OK. However, I cannot insert a background (Area) fill when defining a frame. The system hangs, then crashes. The old linux trick of starting openoffice4 in a terminal does not give any diagnostic information after such a crash. I can, once a frame is made, select it and change the background (Area) colour. If a frame has had a background inserted after making the frame, its linking to another frame is uncertain - the background colour is sometimes treated as frame content and linking is not permitted; however, the logic of "content" in a frame probably ought be inserted content such as text or illustration, not structural content such as a background colour generated at frame make time; but until a frame can have such content generated at frame make time, one cannot experiment in any detail.
