Created attachment 103010 [details] Screenshot showing options and result of displayed text under LOv4302. Problem description: This may be closed as NOTABUG but it would be good to get clarity on why this is happening. Selecting a low contrast background and font colour pair results in the font colour not being respected (irrespective of the O/S theme or other LO settings). The workaround is to select a font colour offering higher contrast with the background. It appears to affect all components (Tools > Options... > LibreOffice > Appearance settings) and date back to at least v3.5.7.2. Related AskLO thread: http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/37148/ Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Writer. 2. Tools > Options... > LibreOffice > Appearance > under the "General"list set "Background color" to Black and set "Font color" to Blue 4 (refer attached). 3. Ensure Tools > Options... > Accessibility > "Options for high contrast appearance" section > first two options are unchecked (default). No high-contract theme is selected in O/S. 4. Click OK. Current behavior: Text is displayed in White. Expected behavior: Text is displayed in Blue 4. Setting either the background colour to Gray 7 or the font colour to Blue 2 offers a workaround. Tested under GNU/Linux (Debian 7 x86_64 + LXDE/Openbox with Taqua theme and Crunchbang 11 x86_64 + Openbox with default Crunchbang theme) using: - v3.5.7.2 Build ID: 3215f89-f603614-ab984f2-7348103-1225a5b - v4.1.6.2 Build ID: 40ff705089295be5be0aae9b15123f687c05b0a - v4.2.5.2 Build ID: 61cb170a04bb1f12e77c884eab9192be736ec5f5 - v4.3.0.2 Build ID: 14ed55896fdfcb93ff437b85c4f3e1923d2b1409 - v4.4.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 3fdd4f069d5436cf39708004af7fda8175fbc4c2 Behaviour is identical in all cases. Linked AskLO thread reports same issue under Windows 7 for v4.2.5.2. Operating System: All Version: 4.1.6.2 release
I can't imagine this not being a bug - if you set colors and they are ignored, seems like a problem. Confirmed: Ubuntu 14.04 x64 LibreOffice 4.3.0.2 - it's also a regression (works fine in 3.3) Really hard to prioritize this bug...but I'll give it a go: Minor - not going to prevent high quality work High - regression + pretty big functionality that no longer works 5a52acff89c712acbd4be6896748c76a010cb507 is the first bad commit commit 5a52acff89c712acbd4be6896748c76a010cb507 Author: Bjoern Michaelsen <bjoern.michaelsen@canonical.com> Date: Wed Oct 16 14:01:44 2013 +0000 source-hash-07352f07ce40ef40e9b73fd05aa4f9c5eac38290 commit 07352f07ce40ef40e9b73fd05aa4f9c5eac38290 Author: Jack Leigh <leighman@gmx.se> AuthorDate: Tue Mar 5 16:19:58 2013 +0000 Commit: Michael Meeks <michael.meeks@suse.com> CommitDate: Tue Mar 12 15:35:34 2013 +0000 liblibo: move to C++ interface.

This is fixed in 4.4 and 4.5 master as of the below commit. There's no chance this commit will be backported to 4.3, and it seems unlikely anyone will develop a separate fix just for 4.3 at this point in the lifecycle, so...
