- in Impress 5.1.2.2 highlight text and set its color to e.g. "Red" - now leave the text box and change e.g. to another slide result: the editing text toolbar disappears (which is quite annoying btw.) - now highlight again some text result: the toolbar does not know that the last used color was "Red" So one cannot just click the color button to apply the last used color nor is it possible to get a recent color because this field is always empty. The reason is that with the disappearing of the editing text toolbar all its settings are lost. This is a regression to LibreOffice 5.0 and is quite a nightmare since it breaks the workflow a lot.
Yep, recent color list is not populated. Both for toolbar and sidebar. While testing, I once got a color to stay in recent..

It's the same in v4.4.0.3 / Windows 7 for me, so I conclude it's not a regression, but implementation error. Also, this seems to be simple enough to be candidate for an easy hack, so setting needsDevEval keyword.
This bug is fixed in Impress 5.3.0.3.
Thank you for testing! I will mark this WORKSFORME instead of FIXED, though, because we reserve the FIXED status for the cases where we know the code commit that fixed an issue.
