Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 19603
Highlighting - No Fill doesn't work properly
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
Press and hold the mouse on the `Highlighting' toolbar button. When the dialog appears select a colour, doesn't matter which one. Select some text. Press the `Highlighting' button. Text becomes highlighted in the chosen colour. How do I remove highlighting ? Press and hold the mouse on the `Highlighting' toolbar button. When the dialog appears select `No Fill'. If the text was selected before doing this the highlight IS removed. Select the hightlighted text to remove the highlight from. Press the `Highlighting' button. The text remains highlighted !!! This surely is incorrect behaviour ? Otherwise there is no elegant way to remove highlighting.

confirmed with OOo1.1RC4 set Os to all set target to OOo later set Prio to P4 reassigned to os set status to new
you can use the "bucket" mode. Choose the highlight button with no text selected and the cursor changes to a bucket. The text selected with this tool will have no fill as background (or whatever was chosen before). (leave the mode with <escape> or by klicking the button again).
That approach, while a work around, is not really viable for a final solution. It is too cumbersome for every day usage.
.
yes. the bucket was meant as a workaround..

If this makes any difference: - This also happens with 1.1.3 and 1.1.4rc - The - quiet similar - text color button works as expected
This bug still exists in OpenOffice.org 2.0 (or at least, in OOo 1.9.129 as included in Ubuntu 5.10)
I can also reproduce this behaviour in OOo 2.0.0final es_ES running Windows XP.
Can this issue be merged with 5416?
Yes, it's a duplicate. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 5416 ***
