Public bug reported:
Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch LibreOffice Writer
2. Insert table to the new document (Table -> Insert -> Table)
3. Write some multirow text in table cells
4. Try to change cell background:
4.1. place cursor on desired cell
4.2. select color from palette from "Background Color" drop-down (located
on Table toolbar).
4.3. click "Background Color" button on Table toolbar.
Expected results:
background color of TABLE CELL (where cursor was) is changed to desired
color.
Actual results:
background color of TEXT PARAGRAPH (where cursor was) is changed to desired
color.
Workaround:
There is slow non-intuitive background - select whole cell, select color
from palette from "Background Color" drop-down (located on Table toolbar),
click "Background Color" button on Table toolbar.

Comment:
I can't believe how this bug is possible. It is inherited from OO.org (I saw
it on OO.org 3.2 in Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS too).
Microsoft Word 2003 and 2007 of course have normal behaviour with cell
background.
I attached pdf document with screenshots.
