This is quite confusing because the background color icon in calc fills the cell background and the background color icon even in the table toolbar in writer fills the paragraph background.

One would indeed wish that that is an icon for the cell's background, that one currently can set by selecting a cell (or more) and then Table properties, tab Background.. So If this is true, this should be an enhancement for another icon on the toolbar :) Ciao!

The background icon reacts depending on the mode your are, if you are in edit mode in the table, that will affect the paragraph, if you're in selection mode, that will affect the cell. Closing as works for me. Please reopen if you disagree :) Sophie Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1485955/comments/2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2014-08-12T13:27:47+00:00 Jay wrote: After both Cor and Sophie's comments, its hard decide which of these two options to go forward with for this issue. 1) that the default behaviour of the background icon should always be to set a cell's background color if inside a cell. 2) that a cell background color icon be created for the table toolbar and the formatting toolbar be used exclusively for paragraph background color. One of the benefits i see with a dedicated cell background color icon is that it would work correctly whenever a table properties section comes in the sidebar.

It's also not correct that the Icon shows 'ab' when it's supposed to do the cells background..

I think this is the best choice, as users in coming from calc are used to clicking the same background color icon to fill the cell.

Yes, that's by far best. Add since change paragraph background is still on the standard toolbar, people can choose. I would suggest another icon too when changing the behaviour..

Bug exists in LibO 5 too. So please confirm this bug. For me it seems that priority should be Normal. This is a very often used functionality. Thank you!
