Description Ilya Basin 2025-08-31 08:41:17 UTC 
Description:
After upgrade from 7.4.0.3 to 25.2.5.2 I noticed that Writer can't search by Highlighting color anymore. I used this feature with "Find all" and explicit white color to mark important parts of documents I needed to double check. 25.8.1.1 is also affected.

Steps to Reproduce:
highlight some text with e.g. yellow, open find and replace dialog, click "Format", switch to tab "Highlighting", click "Color", choose yellow color on the palette, "Ok", observe that "Yellow, not transparent" appeared below the "Find" input and click "Find all.

Actual Results:
the error "Search key not found" is shown below the search input

Expected Results:
all yellow-highlighted text gets a darker shade and blue border around it.


Reproducible: Always

I confirm it with

But I think it is a duplicate of bug 1611182. Ilya, if you don't agree, please change status to NEW with a short reasoning.
