Description Marco Menardi 2021-09-12 17:40:06 UTC 
Description:
It's a regression, works with i.e. 7.2.0.4.
You click the "font color" toolbar and try to pick a color like i.e. green or yellow, does not work, it you type the text color remains the same.
If you instead choose the toolbar default "dark red 2" then it works, but you can't go to any other color (i.e. go back to black / automatic).
You can't change color also with Format -> Character -> [Font effects] and Font color property.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a new writer document
2. write something (blabla bla bla blablabla)
3. select it and drop down the color selection using the "Font color" toolbar
4. try to select a color different than "dark red 2", document text color does not change

Actual Results:
text remains of the same color or changes to "dark red 2"

Expected Results:
text should change color


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
I've tested also in a Kubuntu 21.10 VM. It had LiBo 7.2.0.4 and everything was ok. Then I upgraded and 7.2.1.rc2 was installed, that has this bug

What does it say in help about for user interface ?, i.e. is this a kf5 build specific issue ?

I've just noticed that also the tool bar "Character highlight color" has the same behavior, you can select only the default (yellow) background.
I'll add a screencast to show exactly what happens (and did not with 7.2.0.4, same PC)

That sounds like bug 144037 (s.a. description in bug 143788 which mentions the color picker scenario, too).

This has been fixed in LibreOffice 7.2.2.
