Created attachment 60518 [details] A simple document with a bullet list created on a clear background, which is then changed to "grey 80%" Problem description: Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a bullet list in a light background with text colour set to "Auto" 2. Change slide background to a dark colour - say grey 80% (see test case - note that text colour is not very readable - a different but also annoying bug) 3. Select all the text in the bullet list, and change text colour to something more appropriate - like white Current behavior: The bullet points in the list stay mid-grey. Expected behavior: I would expect that when I change a background from light to dark with text colour set to "Auto" that the text would automatically become light. In the absence of that, when I select all the text in a bullet list (with Ctrl-A) and change the text colour to white, I expect the bullet points or list numbering to also change colour, as part of the text.
Created attachment 60519 [details] The same document, after selecting all the text in the bullet list and changing font colour to white There are two attachments - the "after changing background" and "after changing text colour" documents. This shows both of the unexpected behaviours I observe when using the default text settings in LibreOffice.

In addition to these two problems, there is a third: I have been unable to find any way to modify the colour of bullet points in an existing bullet list. Does one exist? If not, that's a functional gap. If so, it's pretty well hidden!

I found a way to modify bullet colour of an existing bullet list. It's not easy. 1. Select all the text in the bullet list 2. Format->Bullets and numbering 3. Tab "Customize" find "Font colour", change to white.

I did notice that when I did that, it only changed the colour of the bullet associated with the current cursor position - if I do not have an active text cursor, it changes the colour of new bullets. But existing ones (including new bullets on existing bullet lists) stay the same. To change all the bullet colours, you need to select all the text (as I say in comment #6). Thanks again!
@ Dave Neary Thanks for bugreport IMHO it is done intendedly that changes color of bullets applied only for selected text. In presentation we need often change only part of list to attract attention of listeners to those particular items of list.

In presentation we need often change only part of list to > attract attention of listeners to those particular items of list. Thanks for your comment Sacha. I definitely get the use-case you're suggestion. However, I think if you've done a Ctrl-A to select all the text in a list that it's pretty clear that you also want the bullets to change colour. Add to this that it's not at all obvious how to modify a style to change the default colour for bullets. Personally I think of the bullet as being part of the text, rather than a separate element. Dave.
About Ctrl-A You are right.
Workaround: select frame with text instead of text and do Format->Bullets and numbering, change color of list.
