1. Open Formatting bar 2. Select Highlight Color icon and select some text. 3. Open dropdown menu of Highlight Color and set to "no fill" Actual result: The status of the "no fill" checkbox never changes. (but color on toolbar changes) Expected result: Checkbox should correspond to current state Additional information Maybe it is not meant to be a checkbox, but some status indicator would be appropriate and useful.
Probably the "icon" used with "No Fill" is not a checkbox -- even if it appears so. This can be understood by seeing that the same icon is used in Paragraph dialog, Borders Tab, Line section, Style dropdown box. Not a problem in that context, because "None" gets shown in the control when it is selected. Here are some observations, finishing with a proposal sketch. 1. The "No Fill" box seems to always have a dotted border, no matter whether it is selected or a colour is selected. 2. While the "empty" colour on the Toolbar is supposed to signal "no fill", try to choose "white" or some lighter grey colour, and see how it looks on toolbar. 3. "Font Color" has a similar situation (and same icon). 4. Admittedly, not a serious disrupter in workflow. But it was confusing to see what looked like a "checkbox" , only to discover that it could not be "checked" or unchecked. Hmmm.....could it work to make a real checkbox in the Character Highlighting dialog? and maybe a cross-hatch: //// or xxxx in the toolbar when "no fill" is selected?

I'm not seeing any reason for WFM. It's still the same as described as far I can tell. Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha1+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 05366b8e6683363688de8708a3d88cf144c7a2bf CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.3 Build 9600; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: nl-NL (nl_NL); UI: en-US Calc: CL Something else is the opinion what the ideal situation would be or the current being as good as it gets.. I'm not any big feeling here.. But well we have UX for that type of question Note: I do have issues with 'reverting' back. So Enabling highlighting and "No Fill' not being the same as 'revert to state before highlighting'. So the topic brought up in relation to 'bold/unbold' not being the same (in perspective of styles). So lack of true 'toggle off'. But well that obviously not limited to highlighting. [And more problematic to solve]
Color picker do not indicate the state, we had this discussion frequently in the past. It rather keeps the last used color and allows by that to easily apply that color to other places. Imagine the marker workflow: you want to highlight parts while skimming through of the text. And every time you select something the picker switches back to "No Fill".
