Description kaesezeh 2014-02-12 21:34:22 UTC
I have a Writer document that grew over the years and in which I highlighted rows of multiple tables to separate successive years with grey highlighting. As it turns out, the grey shades have changed over time. I think (!, I am not sure), greyshades were defined in percentages and I think I used 15% at the time - now they are numbered but

- grey1 is lighter than what I could use earlier
- grey2 is darker than what I used earlier
- I cannot get my current greyshade indicated in the background color dialog window
- one cannot define greyshades in RGB values (?)

This is a bit annoying since it means I now have to change multiple different rows in different tables to the new greyshades (why would one not keep the old ones and/or introduce RGB value selection?) AND this is all the more annoying since, in Writer, you can select multiple different words with CTRL and double-clicks, but you can't select multiple different rows in different tables with CTRL ...

This seems more like an enhancement request, it clearly isnt a clear cut bug description. Please clarify the exact expected behaviour.

Well, it's not an enhancement but a bug, I think, because shouldn't it be a feature of LO that the user's formatting is preserved? I think it's a bug when I choose a color in one document and the update to some newer version does away with that color completely?
