Heh filing bugs is great, but showing up to help fix them is even more
impressive :-) the bug sounds annoying as you say.

Lack of resources.

Cool. So the first trick is to get a build, Linux is strongly
recommended for that. When you've done that, poking at things like:
svx/inc/svx/tbcontrl.hxx
+ SvxFontColorToolBoxControl
and + SvxFontColorExtToolBoxControl
the difference between which -may- be the cause of your issue, if you
poke into:
sw/source/ui/app/swmodule.cxx:
You can see that some are 'Ext' control variants and others are not:
SvxFontColorExtToolBoxControl::RegisterControl(SID_ATTR_CHAR_COLOR2, pMod );
SvxFontColorExtToolBoxControl::RegisterControl(SID_ATTR_CHAR_COLOR_BACKGROUND,
pMod );
these guys have the separate drop-down vs. select it seems
SvxColorToolBoxControl::RegisterControl(SID_BACKGROUND_COLOR, pMod );
and this guy does not. I imagine calc is using the non-Ext controls,
and needs updating.
As for saving the previous state in the ODF file, perhaps the best
place to shove that is the settings.xml file; poke at
sc/source/filter/xml - near the $ git grep VisibleAreaTop hits :-)
HTH,
Michael.
