EDITING: Cell text highlight not working on windows 10

EDITING: In libreoffice calc when text color is selected. Text color shows correct while I am in calc cell in edit mode and cell. As soon as I move away from cell. Text color changes to black (Automatic).
Text color doesn't persist and this is major problem in case I don't want to highlight each cell with different color (By the way cell highlight works perfectly fine).

Please don't confirm your own bug reports, it's done once the bug can be reproduced independently based on the description. Additionally, please upload a sample spreadsheet, and write down exact reproduction steps.

Following steps need to be followed to re-create the bug.

    Select any heading in attached spreadsheet "test jobs list.ods".
    highlight the text in heading field.
    From menu select text color selector and pick any color other than black.
    When you hit tab after changing color or click on any other cell, text color in previous cell will revert back to black (Automatic).

I will add same instructions in bug that I filed in bugzilla.

Thanks for checking Adam. I am still having this issue. But I found that Impress and Draw is working fine, I mean when I change font color on other two applications it works fine.
Issue which I am facing is in Calc and Writer only. Not sure how can I rectify it.

I also found similar bug # - Bug 93789 reported in 2016 for linux platform. In my opinion bug was fixed for linux platform. But was not fixed on windows version of product.
Comment 6 Buovjaga 2020-04-29 13:24:53 UTC
No problem with the spreadsheet for me. Bug 93789 has nothing to do with this topic.
