Created attachment 75975 [details] Example produced to show the types Backgrounds seem to be able to be applied to either text or cells. That makes sense, although it is confusing using the same button for both. But, if I want to remove the background (within a table in writer) that I have applied I would expect to be able to remove the background by highlighting the whole area, selecting background and changing to none. This only works if the background was originally applied to whole cells (by selecting more than one cell). This is similar to bug 47853 but I don't think it is the same. 1. Open an attachment 2. Highlight a table 3. Using the background button on the toolbar set the background to none Expected behaviour: all background colour is removed Actual behaviour: only background colour applied by selecting multiple cells first is removed*. * or by selecting multiple cells with the mouse and reducing back to one cell before releasing the mouse button. This can be particularly confusing as some cells may have had both methods of applying backgrounds applied to it, so it looks like nothing has happened when you try to remove it.

For me that is not a bug. The background buttons in the table toolbar and in the properties tab of the sidebar, change the background color of the selected object : character, paragraph or cell. You may not want to remove all these background colors by the same action because the 3 colors might be different. Set cc to ux-advise. Best regards. JBF
This relates to bug 82504 which i have filed and the correct behaviour of the background button when inside of a cell should be to fill the cell and not to fill the paragraph color.
We're replacing our use of the 'ux-advise' component with a keyword: Component -> LibreOffice Add Keyword: needsUXEval [NinjaEdit]
As you say, it makes sense to have different ways to colorize. The issue is the control as handled in bug 82504. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 82504 ***
