            Bug ID: 136466
           Summary: LibreOffice Writer: Table Row Background Color Fill
                    Behaviour
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.2.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
The behaviour of background coloring (fill) table cells (individual cells,
rows, columns) has been changed at some point, so that the paragraph will be
background-colored instead of the whole cell/row/column, like it used to be. I
believe this has happened to mirror MS Word, however this is really
counterproductive and counter-intuitive, as the only way now to fill the whole
cell is to select desired cells/rows/columns and then go to [Table Properties]
> [Background] and work around here. More often one desires to color the whole
cell, not the just the "background of the text". Wouldn't be a problem if there
were a separate option or check-mark to select what to color specifically.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Writer > New Document
2. Insert Table
3. Select Cell/Row/Colum/Table
4. Click to fill background [Background Color] from table toolbar
5. Only text-background is colored, not whole cell/row/column.

Actual Results:
Only text-background is colored

Expected Results:
Whole cell to be colored (i.e. no "uncolored padding" within cell)


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes
