After upgrading the system to Debian 13 (Trixie) using the LXDE desktop environment, LibreOffice (Writer and Calc)
Can't reproduce on a (new, empty) document in Calc.
stopped rendering background colors for cells and entire sheets/documents. The issue occurs with both new and existing files. Backgrounds are just white, even when another color is explicitly set. Text is still visible.
But yes, a writer table fails for me. too. Unless I enter some text there, which is then highlighted. Is is not for you? Don't assume people know what you mean..
Suspected cause: Might be related to rendering issues (hardware acceleration, VCL plugin?) or compatibility problem with LXDE/GTK3 in Debian 13.
Maybe, but (also see below) didn't you say you tried in different desktop environments?

So you tried in different desktop environments with GTK3 or did it fall back to gen? Since there's no sign of KDE/kf6 here? You also didn't say *how* you get the background. Conditional formatting? (Though quickly looking over bugzilla I see background-related bugs but afaics so far none directly related, but I definitely remember that commits happened for it.)) In any case, 25.2.3 is in stable and won't get updates unless really necessary. Thus bugs against stable make only a bit of sense without re-testing with current LibreOffices. Maybe you can try 25.8.1 (which is stable-backports) and report whether that one works? I at least get the same results in unstable in a clean VM as I have written above for stable, though.
