Description:
Situation: working with an email from Outlook and I need to copy IDs and change their related info in a sheet and web app. A long time ago MS had the brililant idea to un-highlight text you selected in any Office app when it becomes the background app (because keeping it highlighted might confuse people, and losing track of what you had selected is obviously not confusing /s)

This was one of the many, many reasons I use Calc and Writer over Excel and Word. (Unfortunately there is no alternative for Outlook.)

However, I discovered that LO has a similar “feature”: when highlighting text in Writer and switching to a different LO app, the highlighted text is not highlighted anymore (until you switch back). This only happens when switching to an LO app, so this often isn’t a problem, but when working in Writer and Calc it is. (Luckily the easy solution was to just use notepad.)

Tested on 2 computers on a very old version (7.something) and 24.8.3.2

To be clear: when switching from Writer to a non-LO app the text is still highlighted. But it also doesn't change appearance, whereas e.g. Firefox when it's the foreground window the selected text is white-on-blue, vs. white on grey in a background window. For writer the text is black-on-blue in both states. (I still prefer this over no highlighting when it's the background window.)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select text in Writer, selected text is black-on-blue
2. Switch to any LO app


Actual Results:
3. Text isn't highlighted anymore

Expected Results:
3. Text is still highlighted (like it is when switching to a non-LO app)

Or: 3b. Text is highlighted in a different color (e.g. black-on-grey)


Reproducible: Always
