Re: [libreoffice-users] Failure to Apply Text Color

Hey Joe. . .

I just installed 5.3.3.2 on my Ubuntu 16.04 laptop.  I had 5.2.x 
installed but I realized that I had forgotten to install the newest 
version when I did on a different laptop [17 inch].  That different one 
had a fresh install of both Ubuntu 16.04 and Windows 10 Home.

Here is what I tried.
I pasted some text into Writer.  I selected a large block of text and 
then clicked on the font color [red was the last one used].  I had no 
problems with it changing the text to red.  I tried changing colors and 
no issues there.

Since I do not have 17.04 installed, I could not test it using that OS.

Just for reference - what version of LibreOffice was installed with 
Ubuntu 17.04?  I tend to installed the latest version of LO after I 
upgrade to a newer OS.  Of course, I tend to forget to upgrade LO after 
that.  3 strokes can do that.
