Description MarjaE 2021-12-11 21:34:32 UTC
Description:
LibreOffice Writer shows footnote numbers on a gray background, making them even harder to read. Using a white background could make them easier to read.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open an .odg document containing footnotes using LibreOffice Writer.
2. Try to see which footnote belongs with which sentence.

Actual Results:
Footnote numbers in the main text usually use very small text.

LibreOffice Writer shows them on a gray background, making them even harder to read.

While it's possible to lean in and zoom the page to make footnote numbers readable, unless you have good eyesight *and* a big monitor, text at the top of the page and footnotes on the bottom won't fit on the screen at the same time unless you zoom out.

I have poor eyesight and a big 22" monitor.

Expected Results:
Using a white background could make them easier to read.

If there's a preference to change footnote background colors, I can't find it because I can't read the LibreOffice preferences...

Checking NOO, the "Field Shadings" preference can change this. LOO does have this preference, but between the tiny text, and the lack of support for page down within lists, it's hard to find and reach the preference.

So a side-effect of bugs 144075 and 146188.
