When creating an odt text with different font colors, I noticed that if I wanted to change a certain part of my text to a recently used color this particular color wasn't present in the recent font color menu.

this causus meto use all kinds of workarounds to get the right color.

Something odd is going on with the reasoning behind why a color is picked as recent font color, can this be improved?
Comment 1 Roeland 2018-01-24 21:15:54 UTC
For example in the test fil, when I continue typing in the blue text, the blue color will be added to the menu, but when I afterwards select the green text, green is added to the recent colors and the blue color has disappeared from this list.
Comment 2 Dieter 2018-01-30 11:31:00 UTC
For me the "Document color" option is sufficient enough (you have access to it via the font color icon).
Comment 3 Roeland 2018-02-12 20:48:08 UTC
Hi Dieter, the "document color" option is indeed providing me with all used colors, this will help me out for now thanks.

However, the behavior of recent colors is not correct /intuitive and this is what I'd like to better with this report.
Comment 4 Dieter 2018-02-14 07:18:31 UTC
Can you describe what do you mean with "not correct / intuitive"? When I use a font colour, it is added to recent used. So I can't see a problem here.
Comment 5 Roeland 2018-02-14 07:29:45 UTC
Hi Dieter, when I use a font color on a certain sentence, and I want to use this color to "Paint" another sentence the color is not in the recent used list.
Comment 6 Dieter 2018-02-15 11:16:04 UTC
I can't confirm this with

Version: 5.4.4.2 (x64)
Build-ID: 2524958677847fb3bb44820e40380acbe820f960
CPU-Threads: 4; BS: Windows 6.19; UI-Render: Standard; 
Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE); Calc: group
Comment 7 Roeland 2018-02-22 19:07:11 UTC
This is what I use. 

Version: 6.0.1.1 (x64)
Build ID: 60bfb1526849283ce2491346ed2aa51c465abfe6
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 6.1; UI render: default; 
Locale: nl-BE (nl_BE); Calc: group

Maybe I should try to record this behavior to give an example.
Comment 8 Dieter 2018-02-23 15:30:34 UTC
> Maybe I should try to record this behavior to give an example.

Would be useful, because I can't see a problem even in 6.1.0.0.

If possible, create and attach a screencast showing the steps. There are various free screencast software available for use, including Camstudio (Windows), Jing (Mac), Simple Screen Recorder (Linux) or screencast-o-matic.com (Web).
