Bug Description

From the highlight color button on the toolbar, you Left click on custom color. That opens a window called "Pick a color". If you click on the top bar of the window, it won't let you drag the window to the side so you can see what colors you highlighted in your document.

Thank you for your bug report. That's still the current behaviour in disco. The color picker is made model for the writer view and gnome-shell does enforce the position and grey the background in those cases. Unsure if the dialog needs to be modal though, that's a libreoffice design decision

To disable this behavior, open GNOME Tweaks, navigate to the “Windows” section and disable “Attach modal dialogs”.

@ph, would you mind filing a new upstream bug to ask whether the color picker dialog being modal is by design, and/or if they would consider changing that?
