Title:
  LibreOffice Close Preview button text is very low contrast

Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Scenario: while using LibreOffice Writer, I accidentally found myself
  in Print Preview mode, and couldn't find my way out. My colleagues
  told me (via Skype text chat) to look for a button called "Close
  Preview" but I couldn't find it. Much hilarity ensued. As far as I was
  concerned, there was no button with that name.

  Eventually, a colleague sent me a screenshot of his LibreOffice (on
  Mac OS X) to show me where the button was. Navigating by the Print,
  Full Screen, and spell-check buttons, I discovered that there IS a
  "Close Preview" button after all, but it's so pale I simply hadn't
  seen it.

  The button is NOT in a disabled state - it gains a button outline when the pointer hovers over it, and is clickable.
  But it's too pale to read; in fact I didn't spot it at all until I knew where to look.
  It's paler than the disabled buttons in the row above (spell-check, table tool).
  It's even paler than the toolbar separator line.

  It turns out the text colour is #DFDFDF on a #F2F2F2 background. This
  would not be considered sufficient contrast for text on a website.

  So far, I have only noticed the problem with the Close Preview button
  in Writer. I don't know if it affects other parts of the LibreOffice
  suite.

  This is my first time reporting a bug in Ubuntu (yay!) but I'm unclear
  how to classify it. I tried the "Select Package" dialog, but it said
  no items matched "LibreOffice Writer".  Searching for "LibreOffice"
  told me there were too many matches. Hopefully we can assign it to the
  right package later.

  It's quite possible this should be filed against a different package
  (perhaps a GTK theme?), or referred upstream to the LibreOffice
  project.
