It is not possible for me to change font to any color.

Hello,
version 4.1 is old and unsupported, please retest with actual version. You can download new version here: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/

I can not confirm with  5.0.1.2

David, your bug cannot be triaged because you have not provided us with any steps to reproduce the issue you’re having, nor you have attached any document that shows that issue. Besides, as Raal indicates, the 4.1 series has long been in EOL (end of life). Please see [1] for the currently supported versions. Upgrade to one of these versions (for example, to 5.0.2) and test again. Then, leave a comment on this report to let us know of what you’re experiencing. Thank you.

I can confirm that the function to change the font color appears to have been disabled. Neither right-click-character nor menu-format-character are able to get the color of the character to change! Yes, I highlighted the characters, just like bazillions of times in the past.

Please open Tools->Options...->LibreOffice->Accessibility, and make sure that "Use automatic font color for screen display" is not checked. If it's checked, uncheck it and restart the app.

Thank you but "Use automatic font color for screen display" was not checked and still this problem persist.
