> So, your "problem" was in installed extensions? Can we close it as NotABug?

Please indicate if the color picker widget is statically configured via a
text-editable file and if so its path in the user or host-common profile.

I suggest it is unwise to so readily dismiss this case as NotAbug. I happen to
be a retired IT systems engineer with experince as both an IT vendor and an IT
customer and I have some interest in contributing to LO bug root cause analysis
and improving LO. I can tell you from my vendor experience that even if a bad
extension or bad extension install process caused this color picker
dysfunction, for the average LO user it still has LO's name on it especially if
they do not associate the appearance of the dysfunction with an extension
management event.  

For example, does LO provide an API for extensions to use to statically modify
the user profile during install/first use/uninstall or conversely does LO call
in to enabled extensions via an LO-spec API at startup to dynamically assemble
the color picker? If so, why does that API not perform simple QA checks such as
for palette namespace collisions across enabled extensions or enforcing
LO-reserved names if any? Quality Assurance deficit bug if it does not.

Further, if I can identify a particular extension causing the issue, then LO
should really want to know about that and remove it from the public extensions
repo.

Regards.
