✅ 🐞 Radial Gradient settings are not applied to Backgrounds on Responsive modes both in the Editor and in the Frontend

[319heads]

Prerequisites

• I have searched for similar issues in open and closed tickets and cannot find a duplicate.
• I have troubleshooted my issue, and it still exists against the latest stable version of Elementor.

Description

When you set locations and angle for each breakpoint to ensure the gradient adapts to different screen sizes, these settings have no effect at all for radial gradients, making them unresponsive.

For linear gradients the location settings are also completely ignored unless you also change the angle at the same time - but even then it is very buggy: If you set the tablet breakpoint angle and locations those settings then override desktop settings and if you set the mobile breakpoint angle and locations those settings then override the tablet settings.

radial.gradient.location.mp4

Steps to reproduce

1. Set a gradient background style on a container.
2. Use the color location sliders to adjust the gradient for different breakpoints.
3. Witness how the values are ignored and have no affect at each breakpoint.

Expected behavior

When you set the background's gradient locations and angle for each breakpoint these values should be used to ensure the gradient adapts to different screen sizes.

Isolating the problem

• This bug happens when only the Elementor (and Elementor Pro) plugins are active.
• This bug happens with the Hello Elementor theme active.
• I can reproduce this bug consistently by following the steps I described above.

Hello @319heads!

Thank you for submitting your issue! 🙏

I can confirm setting up radial gradients for responsive screens results in no changes when visualized both in the Editor and on the frontend.

However, for linear gradients that's the expected behavior. As the Disclaimer explains, you must also define an angle for the gradient on responsive modes to take effect because of how CSS works for background gradients. It won't inherit the value from the desktop version. Once you give it a value, it should change as expected.

As for the radial gradient, we can’t say exactly when it'll be sorted out, but we kindly ask for your patience. Thanks for understanding! 😉

Best regards
