MS Word 2010 (Starter) colour selectors

Just adding to comment 8 here:
Yes, what Petr observed is indeed intended as a time-saving feature with which
you can quickly select a useful new text/highlight colour. This feature has
also been available in MS Office for quite some time – see attached screenshot.
There's one difference between LibreOffice and MSO, though, and that is that
MSO doesn't preselect a new paragraph background colour – I'm not sure why.

(Yes, this means that the colour selectors aren't indicators any more, but then
again, the actual (usually clearly visible) text/highlight colour should serve
be the ultimate indicator.)

Regarding the "little bug on Linux" mentioned in the previous bug: that clearly
is intended behaviour, although, I don't really know if it is still sensible –
personally, I find the "paint can" mode rather counter-intuitive. In any case,
it should be discussed in a different bug.
