Description BrooksNYC 2014-09-28 15:08:08 UTC
Please see thread for problem description and screenshots:

http://en.libreofficeforum.org/node/9161

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Writer
2. Make sure ruler is visible
3. Click on tab stop symbol, located to the left of horizontal ruler, against the left margin and just below the toolbar (or, in previous versions, at far left bottom edge of toolbar).

Current behavior:
Gray square behind tab stop symbol only appears when symbol is clicked. Square disappears as soon as document is saved, or after closing LibreOffice.

Expected behavior:
Gray square should be visible at all times, so that the tab stop symbol is easy to see (particularly important if user has chosen a dark color for the application background). 

              
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.3.2.2 release
Last worked in: 4.2.5.2 release

(The most recent stable version — not the "early adopter" version.)

The aforementioned bug (no square behind the tab stop symbol in Writer) does not appear to have been fixed, although this doesn't affect me. 

It might, however, pose a problem for someone using "dark" LibreOffice / computer settings. (Without a light-colored background square, the tab stop symbol would be invisible.)
