Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 24785
Footnote anchors fail to apply background colors
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
When I set a background color to span across a line of text, any footnote anchors within the line of text will not apply the new background color, but will retain the background color of the footnote anchor character style. Footnote anchors should be allowed to have multiple text styles in order to allow this type of application without the footnote anchors standing out from either the highlighted text or the non-highlighted text.

I consider this to be a defect. Footnote anchors should simply apply the character attributes that are set except the character styles has a different attribute set.
.
I can reproduce the bug in open office 1.1.4 with window XP/ linuc(redhat 7.3) the following is the reproducing step: 1.Open the file, leave the cursor after the word that you want to make a footnote; 2.Insert footnote from "Insert – Footnote". 3.Select this sentence; choose "Background" tab from "Format – Character", choose the color and then press "OK"; 4.Open "File - Page preview", this whole sentence apply the new background color except the footnote. Also, you can print this page to see the result. If I use "Format – Paragraph - Background" to set color to the same text file, the footnote anchor will apply the same color as text file. Footnote could be set the same color as the text file. It is defect.
