Created attachment 50664 [details] You can see the bug here. I have installed KDE 4.7 recently, and bound the KDE theme to LibreOffice thanks to a package my distribution (ArchLinux) provides. Without this package, I see the UI as in Java I suppose... Whatever, With the KDE style, the UI is perfect, but the tooltips are written in black on a black background. The only solution I've found at the moment is to change theme... I am using the Oxygen colorset (default) in KDE (this is the colorset which puts the tooltips in blackOnBlack). Deactivate/Reactivate tooltips in LibreOffice options does not fix the issue.
I get the same thing on an earlier LO version. LibreOffice 3.3.3 OOO330m19 (Build:301) tag libreoffice-3.3.3.1, Ubuntu package 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2 running on Linux 2.6.38-10-generic running KDE Development Platform 4.7.00 (4.7.0)

I am not going to mess with your bug database, but I surely think this is a duplicate of bug 39784.

This is listed as fixed. Can someone tell me which version it is fixed in?
The next one.
I am now using 3.4.4 and this is not fixed. My Kubuntu version is now 11.10 and using KDE 4.8.0.
Still here. LO 3.4.4 KDE 4.7.4 Kubuntu 11.10 It also affects the formula tooltip, the one with the syntax.
I saw this happening in version: LibreOffice 3.4.4 OOO340m1 (Build:402) (current in Ubuntu Oneiric). I found that the tooltip background and foreground colours obey the KDE text colour settings Tooltip Background and View Text, respectively. (These are the names as listed under System Settings -> Application Appearance -> Colours -> Colours tab -> Colour set: Common Colours. They seem to have different names depending on where you go to edit them.) I have since upgraded to the current Oneiric version in ppa:libreoffice/ppa (LibreOffice 3.5.0 Build ID: 350m1(Build:13)). With this build, the colours are taken from Tooltip Text and Tooltip Background colour settings as expected. So, someone has fixed this bug, and the Tooltip Background/View Text settings provide a workaround for older versions. Of course, a backport would be nice, if any package maintainers are watching... ;)
As confirmed by previous comment, this has been fixed at least since 3.5.0.
