LibreOffice 6.1.5.2 Calc (Debian). ‘Format cells …’ function - no background color edits, no color palette selection.
Tools>Options - no color editor! What happened? Is it possible?
Test whether LibreOffice user profile is causing the issue:
- Start LibreOffice
- Restart in Safe Mode using
Help -> Restart in Safe Mode
and confirm the restart using button:Restart
- Archive your profile expanding
Advanced
(click on the word Advanced right aboveHelp
button) and clickArchive User Profile
button - Click button
Continue in Safe Mode
- Open a file and test whether the problem is gone
If the problem is gone while running in LibreOffice **Safe Mode**, most probably you user profile is corrupt and you need to reset to factory settings (could be also done via `Help -> Restart in Safe Mode`; carefully read the option in the dialog appearing when starting safe mode)
(May be you are comparing functionality of older releases - and 6.1.5.2 is such older release - with your experience on more recent versions)
