--- Comment #1 from Aron Budea <baron at caesar.elte.hu> ---
This is a bit tricky.

- Issue 1: yes, I noticed that as well, it's an issue.


- Issue 2: it seems to work the same way as in LibreOffice, eg. first you
select the color, then mark a piece of text, and it gets colored/highlighted.

Actually, at least in LO 5.3.2.2 text and highlight color selectors behave
slightly differently, if you select text color from the picker, you can type
with that color, but with the highlight color picker you always have to select
the text afterwards (or beforehand).

Actually #2, the mouse pointer should change to a bucket like it does in
LibreOffice.


- Issue 3: this comes from how the coloring works, since you're supposed to
select the text at this point, the (slightly different) caret follows the mouse
pointer (same as in LO).


So some fixes would be needed here to make using colors behave similarly to LO.
At the same time I hope the general behavior makes more sense now.
