Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 103965
Changing Selected Text's Background Changes Entire Text Block Instead

OOO310m11-Writer is currently working as expected, but this is an enhancement request to mimic features of other document editor products. I am requesting when changing selected text's background color only the selected text's background color changes -- not the text block. Current capability changes the entire text block, not just the selected text. Note: Importing from other word processors (i.e. MS Word) imports this capability, but does not allow the manipulation of this after imported.
Give an example. Show a screenshot.
Please use the "Highlight" function from the toolbar; this will apply background color for the selection (which is the same what is done via "Format.Character.Background". The "Background color" button will apply Paragraph background.
