- Open a document (for example a spreadsheet) - Search for a text string (from within the search toolbar) that matches some content - Delete the string in the search field so that that LibreOffice displays the grey "Search" - Click on the pull down button of the sear field: Note the the string you searched for is grey instead of black Please also have a look at the attached screen shot.

NOT Reproducible with "LibreOffice 3.5.3.1 (RC1) German UI/Locale [Build-ID: 21cb047-d7e6025-9ba54fc-b4a51a8-f42372b] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) in CALC and WRITER. NOT reproducible with LibO 3.4.4 on Ubuntu 64Bit (VirtualBox) @reporter: Please: - add information -- concerning your PC (video card, ...) -- concerning your OS (Version, Distribution, Language) -- concerning your LibO version (with Build ID if it's not a public release) and localization (UI language, Locale setting) –- Libo settings that might be related to your problems (video hardware acceleration ...) -- WHY do you believe that your observation is unexpected (cite Help or Documentation!) I wonder what test system you use, you never contribute information concerning your OS and nearby every report shows a different version: <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/report.cgi?x_axis_field=reporter_realname&y_axis_field=version&z_axis_field=op_sys&query_format=report-table&product=LibreOffice&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&keywords=&bug_id=&bug_id_type=anyexact&emailreporter1=1&emailtype1=substring&email1=big_n%40gmx.de&emailassigned_to2=1&emailreporter2=1&emailqa_contact2=1&emailcc2=1&emailtype2=substring&email2=&emailtype3=substring&email3=&chfieldvalue=&chfieldfrom=-30d&chfieldto=Now&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0=&format=table&action=wrap> Do you really determinate the exact version where the bug appeared?
Yes, I do. I have the experience that most LibO/OOo bugs are platform independent. So more informations is not needed in most cases.
The bugs that I report can be reproduced on my private PC running Ubuntu and my laptop at work running windows. So they are not OS or HW-specific.
> WHY do you believe that your observation is unexpected (cite Help or Documentation!) Because it is inconsistent and illogical!
This is a simple bug that fails to switch to black. There are to conditions if the text of this box hast to be black instead of grey. a) A string is enteres -- ok b) The pull-down is open -- not ok
to conditions -> two conditions
enteres -> entered sorry for my typos
@OfficeUser: Please ALWAYS contribute exact information concerning OS in the report or comment! Do not waste our time with incomplete reports and snappish comments like "Because it is inconsistent and illogical". Although I tend to agree with your expectations to text color, we need facts. What other similar combo boxes did you see with black text? What can we know what Linux distribution with intended differing behavior you use?
Still present in: LibreOffice 3.5.2.2 Build-ID: 281b639-6baa1d3-ef66a77-d866f25-f36d45f OS = Ubuntu, other OS not tested @Rainer: I appreciate your efforts. Bot sometimes - I think - you make noise that is not in any targeted manner. Have you looked carefully on your screen? It may be hard to recognize dark grey instead of black.. I will re-test with the next available non-pre build.
@Rainer: Such search boxes have been first introduced by Firefox, I think. They also Display selcted search engines like "Google" and so on in gray while user enteres search strings are displayed black. So this is common for modern GUIs. These are the "facts" you have requested.
Not reproducible in 3.5.3 on Fedora 64 bit May be it is grey because so is desktop theme.
Still reproducible with: LibreOffice 3.5.3.2 Build-ID: 235ab8a-3802056-4a8fed3-2d66ea8-e241b80 @sasha: Has nothing to do with themes. **** Please note: **** The list item appear grey if you open it while the grey string "Search" is displayed. If you open it while a user entered string is present, the list items appear black. The list items always have the colour of the string in the search box. Maybe this is why some users are not able to reproduce it.
Thanks for additional information. reproduced in 3.5.3 on Fedora 64 bit and in 3.4.2 on Windows XP 32 bit Steps to reproduce: 0. Start any module of office 1. Press Ctrl-F 2. enter qwer there and press Enter 2 times 3. enter asdf there and press Enter 2 times 4. press Del. 5. click by mouse inside of document (in Find tool appears grey word "Find") 6. click drop-down-triangle inside of Find tool (appears word qwer and asdf in drop down list) Expected: words are black Actually: words are grey Changing version to 3.4.2 as most early reproducible
On Ubuntu 12.10 with Libreoffice 3.6.2.2 this bug can be reproduced, the entry in the find history dropdown is shown with the current text color from the find entry (if the search hint is shown, the dropdown entries are grey, if some text has been entered, the dropdown entries are black), however with the current master this does not happen anymore, the dropdown entries are shown with black even if the gray Find hint is shown in the search entry, thus I think this can be marked as fixed.
for me not reproducible with LO 4.3.2.2 (Win 8.1) as per comment 14 Does this issue still persist for you or anybody else with the latest release of LO? Otherwise, we could maybe close this issue.
Confirm fixed in... Version: 4.3.2.2 Build-ID: edfb5295ba211bd31ad47d0bad0118690f76407d
