(f) Not reproducible with LibO 3.5 on Ubuntu 11 (VirtualBox), 
    there character remains in some light grey. 
(g) I wonder wheter there is a
    WIN workaround with color or Theme of contrast or whatever setting.

(e) Latest confirmation for AOO 4.1.0-dev, but because of incomplete 
    LCo selector (Bug 123063) no correct information can be left.

Advanced Sample Document

Please do also tests in cell C4. With WIN I see a permanent change to 
  visible character color = white 
when I proceed test similar to test in original report. 

Behavior should be: 
   White when caret rectangle = on, 
   original color when caret rectangle = off.

--- Comment #5 from Rainer Bielefeld <ra...@bielefeldundbuss.de> ---
I think the bug has 2 elements:
(h) As long as the flashing overwrite caret rectangle is visible, the visible 
    color of a dark color (blue) character at it's place should change to a 
    bright color (yellow), and change back to normal color for the part of 
    the flashing period where the caret is invisible. This does not work 
    at all on WIN (it seems that visible color of character switches to
    "permanently white" when "overwrite" becomes switched on, but does work
more
     or less on Linux (can someone check with my new sample?)
(i) Any change of visible character color should be undone when caret has moved 
    away. This does not work on WIN and does not work on Linux.
(k) so may be we should split this report into 2 ones: original one for (h) and
    a separate one for (k)?
