Bug 119729 seems to talk about "drawing styles", I mean 'styles' [Ctrl Alt 2] -> 'a' icon ('Character styles') (similar to CSS class styles).
It works in version 7.4.7.2, it stopped working in 7.5.7.1 (and I think it happened a few years ago too, and then they fixed it).

Comment 8 m_a_riosv 2023-10-20 00:45:35 UTC

Sorry, not a duplicate.

Seems it works when the style is modified, but not with direct format.

Please, can you attach the sample file.

Do you mean a sample document '.odt'? The problem is not in the document view, it works fine there. The problem occurs only in the sidebar > (preview) 'character style (even if a new document is created).
I think it is also independent of the template (.ott). Because if I open a new document with a default LibreOffice template, and I modify the background-color to some style ('character style' tab), the same thing happens, the background color looks good on the page, but it doesn't is displayed in the sidebar.
