Bug ID: 168563
Summary: Writer: Highlighting while using a non-white
background reveals fill-color
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.8.0.4 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
In the latest version of LibreOffice Writer, since the last major version
change (25.8), a bug has persisted whereupon highlighting text within a
sentence will create a white fill-color running to the end of the line. This is
only visible when the document background is set to a non-white color.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set Writer's document background (Tools > Options > Appearance) to something
other than white.
2. write a sentence ("This is a test")
3. select the words "is a" and press the option to highlight
4. "is a" will be highlighted, but the rest of the line will have a white
fill-color.
5. Further, if one tries to select the area of text "test" and tell the
highlight tool to have no color, it will not change the fill-color and will
remain white. However, one could choose to highlight the rest of the line with
a non-white fill color, but this is no solution, of course.
Actual Results:
The unselected portion of the text which appears after the chosen, highlighted
section takes a white fill-color.
Expected Results:
The highlight tool should have only effected the selected text and left the
proceeding text without any formatting change.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
I also tried entirely deleting my .var/app/org.libreoffice.LibreOffice folder
to see if a fresh setup would render a different result. It did not.
