Fonts display as black even when other colors are selected.

Fonts always seem to display as black even when an alternative color is applied to them using the Font Color tool. The Font Color tool shows the applied color. The fonts display as black both in editing and presentation mode. Exported PDF, and PPT do not have this problem. The font color displays properly in OpenOffice 1.02. Will attach an example.
Created attachment 5711 [details] Presentation document displaying problem with font colors.
Reassigned to Christian.
I can't reproduce the bug. Also your attached document looks ok with my OOo. Please have a look if 'Use automatic font color for screen display' is selected. You find this option in 'Tools/Options/Accessibility/Options for high contrast appearance' If this option is selected your text is black on a bright background and white on a dark background. after deselecting the option you should see the text colored. Please write me if this fix your problem.
Discovered what was causing the problem. OO 1.1 Beta was the only program on my destop listening to a forgotten "high contrast" checkbox in the Windows XP acessability control panel.
I close the issue.
