example with screenshots

This is how to recreate the bug:

1) open attached document and go to page 1
2) move the mouse pointer between "1.1" and "1.1 XXX of 1.1" and click left mouse button
3) move the mouse pointer down to directly behind "XXX of 2.2.1" and release mouse button
4) click backround color button for yellow background.

The result is shown in the upper screenshot on page 2 when what one would want to see is on the lower screenshot. That result can only be obtained with a second highlighting etc. process that does NOT begin in a numbered paragraph.

well, I can reproduce issue on 4.1.2.3 under Win7 64bit if the selection starts at the level of: "1.1 XXX of 1.1" then background color is applied only on a few lines

but if the selection starts from the white line before "1.1 XXX of 1.1" the backround color is applied to the whole selection.

I agree this is a bug since the color should be applied the the whole selection regardless of the starting point.

it's not a new bug though... I can reproduce it with older LibO releases (up to 3.3.3) and affects OOo 3.3.0 and AOO 4.0.0 as well.

so correct version is INHERITED FROM OOo
Comment 2 tommy27 2013-10-05 18:17:31 UTC
please take a look at Bug 52525. I think you are descibing a very similar (maybe the same) issue.
Comment 3 Harald Koester 2013-10-10 15:46:32 UTC
Reproduced with 4.1.2.3 und Win7 32bit.

I think this is not a duplicate of bug 52525, hence there are several differences:
(1) in 52525 the background colour for fields is used and not the general background colour,
(2) in 52525 the colour is changes unintendedly.
(3) in 52525 only the numbers theirselves got background colours and not the whole line.
(4) in 52525 the background colour toggles, if you move the cursor.

Ok. let's consider this as a separate issue.

Still reproducible with attached document.

I could not reproduce this from scratch.  Maybe it is a combination of setting Outline Numbering in the Tools menu and using Format Bullets and Numbering Options.  The document has numbering over two sections, so maybe there is something about selecting over these two objects.

If you select from "1.2" through "2.1" and change the background colour, then the paragraph numbered "2" is not changed but "1.1" and "2.2" are changed.

screenshots of behaviour

There is also a difference between using the background colour on the toolbar and in the paragraph dialogue.

After copying the document into a new one, taking care to add a paragraph outside the last section otherwise that section does not get copied, I was able to apply the background colour to all of it as the original document had in the desired result.

Repro 7.2+.
As in Comment 6 and Comment 8, this is specific to attached document.
Moreover, it works on second apply, with colors seen for headings in Styles sidebar. 
Not sure if just Minor or WontFix for a single example not reproducible from scratch.

Note: To color all here, as in desired result, one can also use Format-Paragraph-Area-Color.

Dear kaesezeh,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
