Description Rob 2013-06-26 13:11:28 UTC 
Created attachment 81472 [details]
Draw file containing an example of the problem.

Problem description: 
If a Writer document has had text highlighted and unhighlighted in the past, when the document is made an OLE object in Draw, the highlighted passages have a white background, not a transparent "No Fill" background.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create new Writer document
2. Add a page of text
3. Highlight some areas of text with the highlighting tool (step not strictly necessary)
4. Unhighlight those areas of text with the highlighting tool
5. Save document
6. Close document
7. Open Draw
8. Create large square shape object over page, the default blue is fine.
9. Insert OLE Object, find the Writer file
10. Areas which were unhighlighted have white background against the blue box, not transparent like the rest of the text.

Problem can also be demonstrated by using the unhighlighting tool on text in the Writer OLE object in the Draw document.

Current behavior:
Unhighlighted text has white background

Expected behavior:
Unhighlighted text should have transparent (No Fill) background

Reproduced.

Whiteness can be cleared by ctrl-m clearing direct formatting for the part of the text.
