This is quite uncomfortable when writing and thus renders the theme in effect unusable. See attached png. [Impact] * Auto-colored text is illegible on dark background in LibreOffice. * Use "High Contrast" theme, unacceptable to customer. * User has to mnaually change the color from "automatic" to white. * This is affecting a flagship customer. [Test Case] * In Libreoffice Impress the text with the color "automatic" is hard to read if the background color is set to black (example file/screenshot attached). [Regression Potential] * This patch is a backport form upstream, and has been tested. I do not see any possible regression potential here. [Workaround] Go to Tools -> Options... -> LibreOffice -> Appearance -> Font Color and change the color from Automatic to Black.
