To add to Benjamin Drung's previous comment: The LibreOffice Options under LibreOffice / Accessibility are there for a reason. Up until relatively recently the behaviour of Writer (when these options are set) was to detect under Windows (at least) when a high-contrast OS accessibility colour scheme was being used and then override the displayed document colours accordingly. Please restore this important functionality to help people with visual impairments use LibreOffice.

Does anyone know When is this important accessibility bug going to be fixed? If I was a C++ developer myself I would help out and fix it, but alas I am not.

To understand why this kind of thing is important please look at the EU Mandate 376 at <http://www.mandate376.eu/> regarding regulations and standards in the EU covering ICT Accessibility requirements.
See the standard EN 301 549 "Accessibility requirements for public procurement of ICT products and services in Europe" at <http://bit.ly/1idBi9Z>
