You're right. It's just a minor inconsistency. But it’s a hurdle when teaching
about LO Writer if the interface violates general principles (not to mention
that your computer’s dark mode settings obscure whether a control button is
usable or disabled: It sacrifices functionality for the sake of style.
Unfortunately, this happens quite often because more and more people are
focusing on appearance rather than the functions themselves).

The success of a software project depends largely on how easy it is to learn
how to use it and on whether its interface follows general principles—for
example, that inactive buttons are displayed differently from active ones.
Here, however, this principle is being disregarded: The buttons look inactive,
but are actually active. This needs to be fixed—even if it’s not noticeable in
a “dark mode” environment because that mode suppresses the visual distinction.
Based on this experience, one should consider whether “dark mode” is a suitable
testing environment.
