Description Ulrich Windl 2018-09-13 08:54:09 UTC
Description:
It seems the new color palettes intoduced in 5.3 did not handle updates properly:
I had two named custom colors that were used in documents.
After upgrading I noticed that the colors are still in the documents, but when viewing the format properties (font effects' color), I see that the custom color now has lost its name.
Looking in the config folder I found the name of my custom color in standard.soc.
When I select "standard.soc" as palette, the colors appear with name again.
My expectations would be that user-defined colors somehow "overlay" the standard palette (i.e. they should be visible with any palette selected).
Also meaning: User-defines colors per palette do not make any sense; instead the use should define a new palette for user colors if needed.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open an older document that uses named custom-defined colors with a recent LibreOffice Writer
2. Open the format properties that uses the custom-color


Actual Results:
The color is not part of the current palette, meaning it's name is not available

Expected Results:
The named color should be available with its name


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
