Can't change font color in LO 4.3.3 (Linux)

Hi~
I found I can not change font color in LO 4.3.3 under Linux.
The procedure is:
(1) Open Writer or Calc.
(2) Type some words in Writer or Calc.
(3) Select the words and chage the color of words.
(4) Writer still not chage it.

Anybody has the same problem under Linux?
Thanks

No problem with 4.4.2.2 on Fedora, not back leveling to test.

Are you using the standard version or a distribution specific version?

Do you perhaps inadvertently have a tick in the option at Tools | Options... | LibreOffice | Accessibility | Options for high-contrast appearance | Use automatic font colour for screen display? If so, the text will remain in a high-contrast colour - black if the background is light - in the normal editing display, but will nevertheless be marked as the chosen colour and will still print or export as PDF correctly.

If you also have "Use system colours for page previews" ticked, Page Preview will also be affected; otherwise Page Preview will show the correct colour.

I trust this helps.

Just for information, the original enquirer confirmed privately that changing this option did solve his problem.
