Tables with coloured backgrounds

This issue was found when creating a table and changing the background colour of the cells, as follows:

1. Create a table of more than 21 columns;
2. Save the table as a “Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP (.doc)” document;
3. Close the currently open .doc file;
4. Open the newly-created MS Word (.doc) file;
5. You should find that the background colours from column 22 onwards have changed.

I have attached an OpenOffice (.odt) file of tables with three different background colours to show the effects. Please test for yourself by saving it as a Word 97/2000/XP document and then reopening this newly created .doc file.

This is an issue for me as I frequently have to send files to people who are using MS Word.

I confirm that color background is forgotten beyond 21th column.
Sound like issue 102434
Maybe the submitted patch is not complete and should be include this case.
