Those seem the same build and os/DE, should they be different?

Rafael, please take a look on this bug, Color picker is disabled in all of the dialogs using it: Page background, shape background, so on...  So, we can not use color picker, we are limited to the color offered by the pallete. 

I consider this to be a High importance bug, it is a thing that is available in LibreOffice, but not usable.
Comment 9 BogdanB 2025-10-13 11:36:17 UTC
I reverted in my build, and it will work fine, without that patch.
Comment 10 V Stuart Foote 2025-10-13 12:49:11 UTC
With STR of comment 0 no issue using the "Area..." dialog's 'Color' panel and making a color 'Pick' with the 'Pick a color' popup widget. 

The same 'Pick a color' widget is also available for Font, Highlight, Line, Fill color.

The picker functions correctly on Windows build with en-US, regardless of the actual palette selection made (Standard, LibreOffice, HTML, etc.)

So, os/DE and locale specific issues?

Working well on Windows, is just a Linux bug.
