Description: Creating and saving .docx files in LibreOffice, so others can review and edit them in their own software (Pages, Office and Google docs). I background-highlighted various texts in my files (using the highlight button and sub-palette viewer), in different colours so that editorial reviews could be made. However on saving the files, all highlighted texts were converted to one colour, diminishing all my editorial key/legend for others to refer too. I.E "Yellow highlighted text is for inputting, orange highlighted text is for editorial review by the Director", on opening the file, the orange sections had been converted to yellow. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Copy and paste text on to a new page, from various copy-and-pasted files that have been compiled from templates old and brand new. 2. Highlight texts in multiple colours 3. Save as a .docx Actual Results: Re opened and found multiple colour highlights converted to one colour. Expected Results: Colours should have saved correctly. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Thinking about it, the using old templates may be creating a few buggy issues, perhaps I could copy and paste into an .rtf file, convert to paling text then copy/paste to libra, its a whole extra process though. If editing in MS Office saves everything accurately, so there must be a way around for Libre :) Also theres no way of opening .pages files in Libre other than resaving through MS Office as .docx and losing all the previous formatting. Good luck and thanks for the great work, if bugs like this get fixed then we can look at converting the whole of our office set up to Libre, until then, I'm the office gineapig trying this out first.

Hi guys, It's not a bug. LO behavior was changed for better comapatibility with MSO formats: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/5.0#Word-compatible_text_highlighting In MSO there are two kind of character background called highlighting and shading. By default LO highlighting is saved as MSO highlighting, but MSO highlighting has only a 16 color palette, so colors are converted to this 16 colors using the best matching color, that's why colors are different and also may happen that two colors are converted to the same MSO highlighting color. At the Tools -> Options -> Load/Save -> Microsoft Office you can change the default behavior to save LO highlighting as MSO shading and so you get the old behavior having all colors the same, but be aware of that when opening this document with MSO, backgroud colors will be shading, so the highlighter tool won't work on them. There is a different settings for shading.

Can't mark as notabug a change that results in white-on-white text when saving as .doc (bug #99023) It's not just a presentation regression it's functionnaly a data loss as text disappears

I reopend tdf#99023 for this reason.
There are a lot of bugs reporting that problem. I think it is better to mark them as duplicates. Tamás feel free to change it back, if you disagree. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 125268 ***
