Description broadsworde 2020-02-06 08:48:32 UTC
Description:
Any time you add a link or an email address to a Calc sheet, the text is formatted as blue with a gray/gray background, almost impossible to read, and the background is impossible to remove or change colour.

Key words: FORMATTING

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select text in a cell
2. Insert > Hyperlink... > type or paste hyperlink > OK
3. Or, enter any email address and press Enter

Actual Results:
Inserting a hyperlink or entering an email address results in the text being automatically formatted as blue on a gray/grey background.
The text with this combination of blue on gray becomes very difficult to read without increasing font size.
The gray background colour is not removable, nor can it's colour be changed.

Expected Results:
Background colour should not be applied by default, as this is not standard HTML or XML behaviour.
Background colour on hyperlinks should be modifiable like any other style.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
Background colour should not be applied by default, as this is not standard HTML or XML behaviour.
Background colour on hyperlinks should be modifiable like any other style.

I can confirm this with LO 6.1 but not with LO 6.2/6.3/6.4.
Can you please try with a recent build?

Upgraded to 6.3.4.2

Hyperlinks and email addresses are no longer automatically given gray/grey background - problem solved.

Also new UI looks very nice.
