Description Timur 2023-11-10 09:47:15 UTC
Deepl translation changes font color from Automatic to None.
Not seen with Light document mode but a problem in Dark mode.
Comment 1 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2023-12-01 15:05:46 UTC
Not reproduced in:

Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 619500d6919c227e734b119481a4b334972e0b7b
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

I tested with both "Dark" and "Light" scheme in Options > LibreOffice > Application Colors. Character font effects still use "Automatic" font colour after translating.

Do you have more precise repro steps? Still an issue in a recent master? Which OS?

Sample ODT

Seems this depends, here is a document where I reproduced .

Seems this is how selection is replaced. 
New text takes properties not of replaced text, but of previous one.
So if default is None or Black, text with Automatic will be replaced with it.

smaller sample ODT differentiating Automatic colour from other colours

Smaller sample ODT to test:

1. set up DeepL translation experimental feature
2. select all text
3. "Tools > Translate" to e.g. German

Results: Teal font colour not lost, but Automatic font colour replaced by black (which doesn't even match the Body Text style's default colour).

May be duplicate of bug 79717 ,but let us keep separately until either is fixed.
