Description davidbell 2005-01-17 10:29:07 UTC 
In Calc, the two cell formatting buttons for Font Colour & Background Colour, 
change as you move the selection, to reflect the state of the currently 
seleced cell(s). This means to change the colour, you have to click to open 
the colour box then choose the one you want

I think with most applications, the these buttons 'stick' to the last selected 
colour, which is better (IMO) because if you are changing a number of cells to 
another colour for instance you only have to choose the colour once then apply 
it with a single click to however many cells you want.

Maybe this is as designed (I see it's the same in 1.1.4), but to me at least 
it's inconsistent with other applications such as MS Excel, and OOo Writer.

There was a same issue report through Korean community forum a while ago. So, I
tried both approach (in Calc and Excel), and found it is more useful to stick to
the latest selected color, absolutely.
