Description: The button is disabled if I enter a text box or it does nothing if clicked, but only in tabbed layout, not in standard toolbar layout. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new writer document. 2. Switch the user interface in writer to tabbed layout. 3. Create a text box. 4. Add some text to the text box (and stay inside the text box with focus). 5. Click on the Highlight Color button. 6. Mark some text INSIDE the text box. Actual Results: Either step 5 fails because the button is not clickable (in standard toolbar layout, it is.) or in step 6 marking the text doesn't change it color (in standard toolbar layout, it does.). Expected Results: The text that got marked inside the text box changes its color to the color chosen with the highlight color button.

Confirmed on Windows with Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha1+ (x64) Build ID: b587de60d4e6aa96238766272d94f1499b22f696 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win; Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: threaded In the MUFFIN NB Tabbed UI, the Highlight Color widget does not activate for text selection in a Draw text box. Same document with Standard UI in use, the selection in Draw text box does activate the Highlight color widget and will take a color.
(In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #1) > In the MUFFIN NB Tabbed UI, the Highlight Color widget does not activate for > text selection in a Draw text box. .uno:BackColor and .uno:CharBackColor have same widget, but only the latter works in text boxes and shapes. In the Standard UI, this change happens surreptitiously by having the Text Object bar (with .uno:CharBackColor) replace the Formatting bar (with .uno:BackColor) when Text Boxes are selected. I am not familiar with the notebookbar*.ui, but maybe this information will give an insight into a possible explanation (and solution) to the problem. Meanwhile, it should be possible -- via Tools - Customize to make a personal "repair" of the problem, search for "highight" in the customize dialog.

Reproduced when using the tabbed UI. The Home > Character highlighting is greyed out (and the Background Color button will apply a background colour to the paragraph on the page instead of the selected text in the text box, and should probably be hidden, but that's a different issue.)
