Need someone to check a 5.2.x regression

Hi All,
I installed 5.2.x on a Windows 7 and Linux from
ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-5-2.
In both cases the Format > Cells > Background > 'No Fill' did not work
correctly per this bug report:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101588 However, another
tester did not find the problem on Windows 10. If you have 5.2.x install
can you please check this:

To reproduce:
1 - Add background color to cell A1 and A3 but not cell A2.
2 - Select cells A1:A3
3 - Format > Cells > Background tab, Click 'No Fill', Click 'OK'.
Cell background colors are not removed.
This works in 5.1.x versions.

Many thanks. I hate to see regressions. And, since they can be used almost
entirely from the keyboard, I still prefer the multi-tabbed windows like
Format > Cells, Format > Page, Format > Character, Format > Paragraph, etc.
over all the other methods: tool bars, sidebars, ribbons :frowning:
