I wanted to add to this comment. This problem only happens when you upgrade Calc from 2.4 but if you do a fresh install with the same repo the highlight color is the nice blue that is very noticeable. I use this repo to get openoffice:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main I noticed today that the highlighting was light so I did sudo apt-get remove openoffice* then I went back and installed it again and it came up right. Hopefully this makes it easier to solve. Thanks! Using Ubuntu 8.10, Openoffice 3 from the above repo. -- [upstream] Calc Selection/Highlight Color very light https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/318896 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
