            Bug ID: 89830
           Summary: Ambiguous naming of character background
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: Inherited From OOo
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: ux-advise
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: zolnaitamas2000 at gmail.com

Character background has two names in LibreOffice. On character dialog it is
called "Background" (a tab page) on the toolbar (and sidebar) it is called
"Highlighting".

These two names make harder to solve an old MSO compatibility issue:

>From a user point of view the name "character background" can be closer to MSO
shading in meaning while "highlighting" can be closer to MSO highlighting. If
LO would have only one name for character background, then it will be
unambiguous to which MSO property to export it (by now RTF export saves it as
MS highlighting, while DOC and DOCX filters export it to MSO shading) and it
also would be clear our users which property can they expect when open an LO
exported MSO document.
