--- Comment #1 from sdc.blanco at youmail.dk ---
Probably the "icon" used with "No Fill" is not a checkbox -- even if it appears
so.  

This can be understood by seeing that the same icon is used in Paragraph
dialog, Borders Tab, Line section, Style dropdown box. Not a problem in that
context, because "None" gets shown in the control when it is selected. 

Here are some observations, finishing with a proposal sketch.

1.  The "No Fill" box seems to always have a dotted border, no matter whether
it is selected or a colour is selected.

2.  While the "empty" colour on the Toolbar is supposed to signal "no fill",
try to choose "white" or some lighter grey colour, and see how it looks on
toolbar.

3.  "Font Color"  has a similar situation (and same icon). 

4.  Admittedly, not a serious disrupter in workflow. But it was confusing to
see what looked like a "checkbox" , only to discover that it could not be
"checked" or unchecked. 

Hmmm.....could it work to make a real checkbox in the Character Highlighting
dialog?  and maybe a cross-hatch:   ////  or xxxx  in the toolbar when "no
fill" is selected?
