Description: In Impress when we try to set character highlighting on a text box using the sidebar, it has no effect at all. When I do the same from character properties dialog it works. When you change text color from sidebar it also works. So highlighting also should work. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a new impress document 2. Write some text inside title shape 3. Select title shape (not the text inside it) 4. Click highlighting icon on sidebar Actual Results: Highlighting is not applied on the text. Expected Results: Highlighting should be applied on the text.
