[Bug 702451] Re: openoffice-calc tooltips are white on yellow when editing XLS file, making them unreadable

 

It would be nice if people, when changing the statuses of bugs, would
put a small description of why.

In this case openoffice.org has been set to Won't Fix because
1) Oracle will have to fix this bug upstream for OpenOffice
2) OpenOffice.org has been superceded in Ubuntu by LibreOffice. So hopefully it will get fixed there.

Title:
  openoffice-calc tooltips are white on yellow when editing XLS file,
  making them unreadable

Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite:
  Unknown
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openoffice.org

  Papercut incident.

  This is exactly the same as this bug
  http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=57226

  Yet it still exists in the Ubuntu version of OpenOffice Calc.

  The former bug was not solved due to insufficient information I can
  now provide sufficient information. But since this affects Ubuntu due
  to the standard Ubuntu theme I am reporting it here.

  When you open an OpenOffice spreadsheet or excel document with
  comments in the fields the tooltips are white text on a yellow
  background making them impossible to read.

  This is because the Ambiance theme (which is standard in Lucid) has
  white text as standard.

  The solution is to add the following code to

  .gtkrc-2.0

  style "tooltips" {
          fg[NORMAL] = { 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 }
          text[NORMAL] = { 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 }
  }

  widget "gtk-tooltips*" style "tooltips"

  This needs to be added to the standard install of Ubuntu so that users
  do not run into this issue.

  I have attached a screen shot so you can see the issue.
