Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Writer or Calc. 2. Draw a shape. 3. Double click on that shape, and type some text inside. 4. Format->Character... 5. There should be "Highlighting" tab like in Impress/Draw. This feature is supported in Writer/Calc too (can be set for now via sidebar button, and this button can be also added to toolbar), so no reason why we can't have this in the dialog.
I believe you :)
Right, Highlight Color is also missing in the "Text Object" toolbar. But it's included in the Properties sidebar. When implementing, please have Bug 105225 "Color palette cannot be chosen in various places" in mind and the new color picker widget should be used instead of the old implementation.
