In draw you can define the color of Area/Line with left/right mouse click at the color bar, this is a great feature but there is no tooltip or anything that the user know of this features. the developer told me about that hidden feature. In the color bar tooltip where you see the color name please add als - left mouse area color - right mouse line color
You talk about View > Toolbars > Color Bar? And a tip explaining that left click applies the color to the object's area and a right click to the object's line. Sounds like bad usability those extended help text has to go into the documentation. Nothing to say about exception, though. But it would also be an advantage to have the color info in the tooltip as implemented recently for bug 108751. Since the special "clear color" button could be placed better separately from the actual palette it could go into a line with a static text or a tooltip on the control. Putting together: yes for a tip but no to every single color pit.
It's an very cool feature (better than in inkscape) and users should know about it. About the "clear color" button I would recommend to move it from first item to last item so the arrangement wasn't destroyed and it's still available. I already search in the codebase but I don't know how to fix it. I would also move the default location of the colorbar from bottom to the left or right sidebar cause our color plate doesn't fit in two lines like you have now on bottom location. When move Colorbar toolbar to left/right sidebar the default height has to be defined cause now it's to big. If someone give me some code pointer I can see what I can do.
