            Bug ID: 126966
           Summary: Sidebar: color selection too small for finger usage
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: iOS
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: iOS
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: contact at 0x17.ch

Description:
The sidebar in writer on iOS contains at least three color selection widgets
which are too small to be useful in a touch only environment:
* font color
* highlight color
* background color

I believe, that the entire "color selection"-dialog needs to be improved for
iOS:
* clicking the color palette selection makes the dialog disappear
* the existing color palettes ("custom" and "document colors") are mostly
useless because they don't contain any colors
* the "recent" colors are way too small to be used with a finger
* the "custom color..." button doesn't do anything

There's a slightly better dialog which is called "pick a color" and can be
called from the "paragraph style" dialog > area > color > pick.

Maybe we could use the same dialog as an initial solution?

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the sidebar in iOS
2. Tap the button to change the font color

Actual Results:
It's almost impossible to use the dialog with a finger.

Expected Results:
It should be easy to use the dialog with a finger.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
