[Bug 628105] [NEW] [Upstream] Text not black in LibreOffice

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Ritesh Khadgaray (khadgaray):

Binary package hint: light-themes

When using Ambiance theme the body text in Ooo Writer is not black but
gray. This is quite uncomfortable when writing and thus renders the
theme in effect unusable. See attached png.

[Impact]

 * Auto-colored text is illegible on dark background in LibreOffice.
 * Use "High Contrast" theme, unacceptable to customer.
 * User has to mnaually change the color from "automatic" to white.
 * This is affecting a flagship customer.

[Test Case]

 * In Libreoffice Impress the text with the color "automatic" is hard to
read if the background color is set to black (example file/screenshot
attached).

[Regression Potential]

 * This patch is a backport form upstream, and has been tested. I do not
see any possible regression potential here.

[Workaround]
Go to Tools -> Options... -> LibreOffice -> Appearance -> Font Color and change the color from Automatic to Black.
