From the highlight color button on the toolbar, you Left click on custom color. That opens a window called "Pick a color". If you click on the top bar of the window, it won't let you drag the window to the side so you can see what colors you highlighted in your document. Someone on Ubuntu suggested this was because the color picker window is modal and asked me if I would file an upstream bug report to TDF (The Document Foundation) asking if it was modal by design or not and if yes, asking is it necessary that it stays modal? Would TDF consider changing it to not be modal? ---------------------------- (***PS I was able to shut off the modal property by installing GNOME Tweaks from a terminal window sudo apt update sudo apt gnome-tweak-tool then shutting the terminal window then opening a new terminal window and typing gnome-tweaks (to run the program) From inside Tweaks: click on Windows turn the Attach Modal Dialogs button to "off" ***)

Hi. I've been complaining to my friend who is a developer for more than 1 year now that when Ubuntu would update itself, it was never properly updating LibreOffice and I was also not being successful to separately try to update LibreOffice to the current "still" version. Yes I know the Document Foundation doesn't use that term anymore. Finally, I got my friend to help me with it recently. It turned out that every time the system updated, it was still using an old PPA of LibreOffice and always overwriting or over ruling any other updated possibility. This was why I was unable to update LibreOffice to reconfirm any bugs. I'm sorry for that. I just couldn't figure out what the system was doing to prevent LibreOffice from updating. Thanks, ph
With the version of Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS and the version of LibreOffice 6.3.5.2 that bug is no longer occurring, as of this morning May 27, 2020. Thanks.
