Description Andy 2015-01-15 12:39:07 UTC
Created attachment 112287 [details]
an example of writer file with some comments showing the black background bug

Create a new writer document. 
Write any text in it, and then add a comment somewhere, writing any text in the comment. 
Then select the comment text and copy it (for example because you need a slightly different comment elsewhere but would like to avoid re-writing it from scratch).

Now move elsewhere in the document text, and add a second comment; then paste the text copied from the first comment into it.
Result: the text is pasted, but it will be in black color on a black background, therefore totally impossible to read.
Notice that any effort to change the background color of the pasted text won't work, it will stay black. 
The only workaround for this once you have pasted the text into the 2nd comment is to change the text color in the comment, e.g. making it white; of course this is severely tedious.

Notice also that:
- the problem is persistent if you save the document into odt format; saving it into MSword format cleans all the wrong black text background in comments
- you can avoid the problem if, after having copied the text in the first comment, you paste it into the document page, select it again there and cut it. This way, when you then create the 2nd comment and paste it, the background will not go black

Repro both on Win & Linux.
4.3.3 is fine -> regression.

Tip from Arnaud on IRC: selecting the black bg text and pressing Ctrl-M fixes the problem.

Comment 4 Michael Weghorn 2015-01-18 00:18:11 UTC
Note that also from that commit on, text inserted in the first comment has a white/grey background.
Comment 5 Andy 2015-01-18 13:50:51 UTC
The ctrl+M workaround is confirmed, but to use it you first have to select the whole text of the comment, otherwise it won't work
Comment 6 Matthew Francis 2015-01-19 04:47:46 UTC
Within the bibisect range, the pasted text first gets a purple background in ae915ba34f6b721b81747e7b90a46e1133d5238e, then goes all black somewhere in  9ab4387532a9bd0df49f3e619f44108dea952a38..4e7f1f7f1113a1f0d60ed17d7712700683c35a24 (not individually buildable)

I confirm this as an ennoying bug on the OSX platform (10.6.8 to 10.9.5) since several LO version.
Last version : 5.0.0.5 rc

CTRL M is a good tip on Mac.
