Description milek_pl 2007-02-26 18:22:18 UTC 
After setting default background to blue, and default font color to white, the
Specials dialog box still displays special characters as white, and they remain
invisible. It is the case for Calc and Writer, possibly for other apps as well.
See the screenshot attached.

Comment 4 Rainer Bielefeld 2007-06-06 06:51:12 UTC 
I checked with "2.2.0RC4  German version WIN XP: [680m14(Build9134)]" (and also
 "2.2.0  Dev. Snapshot  WIN XP: [680m7(Build9118)]") and can confirm the problem 

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open new text document
2. Set background to blue in menu 'Tools > Options > Appearance
   > Document background"
3. Set character colour to blue in menu 'Tools > Options > Appearance
   > Document background"
4. Menu 'Insert > Special Characters'
   expected: characters visible (for example white characters on 
             blue background)
   actual: characters invisible (white characters on 
             white background) 

The problem is, that the dialogue uses the character colour setting, but not the
background colour setting. This is a general problem (I also tested CALC).

This is a duplicate of  Issue 51189, what is marked as DUP of fixed Linux (?)
issue 48124.

I can't decide whether this is really fixed becaus I do not know where 'vcl49'
has been integrated, but I believe it's still a bug.

@milek_pl:
Please specify your OS and Platform
Comment 5 milek_pl 2007-06-06 09:48:01 UTC 
@reinerbielefeld: my OS is as specified in the issue (Windows XP), I found the
issue on 2.2 RC1.

Probably the problem of the background change is connected to color theme
change, and to text background color change, which makes it harder to debug.

Note: could not reproduce on 2.2.1 RC2. Please check if you can, if not, it is
probably fixed.
Comment 6 stefan.baltzer 2007-09-26 15:51:10 UTC 
SBA: Reproducible in OOo 2.3. Affects all platforms and OS, adjusted fields.
SBA->HDU: As discussed with PL, please proceed (overwrite "font colour" with
"field colour").

These regressions were introduced with the accessability feature => fixed in CWS vcl83 by using the field 
colors
Comment 8 hdu@apache.org 2007-10-23 11:52:18 UTC 
@ES: please verify in CWS vcl83
