With Ubuntu 17.04 and LO 5.3.1.2 (the "standard" for 17.04) I don't see 
any problem.

Hey Joe. . .

I just installed 5.3.3.2 on my Ubuntu 16.04 laptop.  I had 5.2.x 
installed but I realized that I had forgotten to install the newest 
version when I did on a different laptop [17 inch].  That different 
one had a fresh install of both Ubuntu 16.04 and Windows 10 Home.


Here is what I tried.
I pasted some text into Writer.  I selected a large block of text and 
then clicked on the font color [red was the last one used].  I had no 
problems with it changing the text to red.  I tried changing colors 
and no issues there.


Since I do not have 17.04 installed, I could not test it using that OS.

Just for reference - what version of LibreOffice was installed with 
Ubuntu 17.04?  I tend to installed the latest version of LO after I 
upgrade to a newer OS.  Of course, I tend to forget to upgrade LO 
after that.  3 strokes can do that.

You probably have Tools | Options... | LibreOffice | Accessibility | 
Options for high contrast appearance | Use automatic font colour for 
screen display ticked. Remove the tick. (You may need to reload any 
document before its display will change.)


With this option ticked, the text is coloured in the document file 
and will print as coloured - but does not display as such. You can 
see the true text colour in Page Preview - unless you also have Tools 
| Options... | LibreOffice | Accessibility | Options for 
high-contrast appearance | Use system colours for page previews ticked.



Should I open a bug report?


Probably not.

I trust this helps.

[libreoffice-users] Failure to Apply Text Color

2017-06-09 Thread Joe Conner
Libreoffice 5.3.3.2 on Ubuntu 17.04: When I select and mark some test 
then click on the Writer Font Color icon to apply a color the text 
remains unchanged. Clicking on the Highlight Color icon will apply 
highlighting to the marked text.


Has anyone else seen this?  Am I doing something wrong or maybe have 
some setting is set wrong?


Should I open a bug report? I could not find any open bugs for this 
phenomena.

A smile - is a sign of joy.
A hug - is a sign of love.
A laugh - is a sign of happiness.
And a friend like me??
...that's just a sign of good taste!!

Blessings, Joe Conner
