First, I have no such setting per se. Instead, on my system, I have a selection
of 3 options under Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Accessibility > Options for
High Contrast Appearance > High Contrast, these are "Automatic", "Disable" and
"Enable". I guess functionally this is similar to what you refer to?

Anyway, if I select "Disable" there, the document user content seems to display
all colors, ignoring the HC setting in OS. The window/UI components are still
in HC mode, whatever that is supposed to be (e.g. different icon set, but not
*that much* different, so the intended result here is also questionable - this
is a separate issue probably).

I think some context is needed: I filed this report because the HC setting had
been turned on accidentally and the documents I worked with looked very
awkward, some parts completely, some nearly illegible (e.g. charts and cells
with colored background). This is different from someone deliberately turning
on HC mode and not getting a reasonable display of their document. I was at a
loss because I was unaware of the HC setting and had to investigate what on
earth was going on.

I suspect that most of the cases linked in comment #4 are similar.

My point is that there are 2 distinct scenarios and two disjoint sets of
affected users: (A) HC turned on deliberately and (B) HC turned on
accidentally, as seems to be the case for some people (N.B. I still do not
know, and probably never will, why the HC setting had been turned on on my
system; I did not recall ever touching the OS display settings when the whole
thing occurred.)

I can only speak for group (B), as I never use HC deliberately. The documents
were unusable, the display looked wrong and I had to google for hours (not
knowing what I was searching for) to find the cause. After finding the cause it
seemed that this is a bug (I am not quite sure any more based on the comments
above).

However, what I am quite sure is this: if HC is turned on accidentally, the
current behavior is very confusing. In addition, I suspect there are many users
out there like me who have not the faintest idea that (i) such a setting exists
and (ii) it can be "mysteriously" activated somehow.
