Wouldn't be the only place where Reset doesn't revert the color to None.

Based on comment 3 I consider a Dialog bug, and not a Page Style bug.
Comment 5 Glen Campbell 2024-04-11 21:29:11 UTC 
Taking a look at this, the reset button *does* perform some action on the "color", "gradient", "image", "pattern" and "hatch" selections. For instance, if you select "color" and click on something other than the initial blue setting, then press the reset button, the color *does* reset to blue. So do we really want to make a change so that the reset button reverts the selection to "none"? Since this "bug" has been around for a few years, that is? I'll dig in and make the change if so. If not, it might be time to just close this as "won't fix" or "not a bug" or something like that.
Comment 6 Heiko Tietze 2024-04-12 07:52:30 UTC 
Good point, Glen. The envisioned solution would be a multi-step reset function applied first to the section and with the second click to the whole tab (which means to end up with None). We should not over-engineer, and reset being applied per section (color, gradient, image etc.) is sufficient.
