Description Joe T 2022-09-05 06:47:11 UTC
Description:
Similar to #82566 - when switching between menu layouts (View -> User Interface), color pickers reset the last selected color back to default.

This occurs in all apps in the suite.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put some text in a document
2. Select some text, and open the text color picker from toolbar
3. Pick any color other than default Yellow to show the color has changed
4. Open User Interface options to select a different toolbar layout
5. Apply and close the change.

The quick-pick color has reset to default yellow.

This may apply to other tools that retain last selection for quicker access.

Actual Results:
After changing toolbar layout, some "inline" settings get reset.

Expected Results:
Retain per-document toolbar selections between UI layout changes.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Did not reset user profile - this is from a clean install.

Can not confirm. With change to an alternate UserInterface from the View menu, the Font Color for a new paragraph is Automatic--so picks up the UI from Application Colors. 

Or if I focus on the previously colored paragraph the font color is as it was selected. That color also appears on the 'Recent' color bar.

Please review your steps-to-reproduce and explain what you think is not correct. Otherwise this is looking => NAB.

I think this is the same issue I've been confronted to lately.
In Draw or Writer, draw a simple shape (a rectangle, for example), then on the sidebar, choose to fill with a gradient.
Select a first color, then do something else (like selecting a second color, or anything else).
After selecting the second color (or doing whatever), colors in the selector are back to the default values. Even when you click out the shape and click in back, the selected colors are not those of the shape but the default ones. Very annoying when setting a gradient as sometimes the first color resets before you can chose a second one.

Screen recording of described bug

Apologies for letting the info request sit for so long. I didn't receive any update emails. I've added myself to the CC list (again?) to be sure.

Attached is a screen recording of the bug.

Notes:
* I updated to version 7.5.1
* The default seems to have changed from Yellow to Dark Red 2, which is the selection the color picker starts and ends with.
* It doesn't matter if I leave the colored text selected or not, the picker resets. I can record that as well if necessary.
* It doesn't matter which UI layout change is selected, the picker resets. I'll record that if necessary.

As shown in the video, the steps are as I previously described:

1. Put some text into a document.
2. Select some text.
3. Open the text color picker, choose something other than the default - to show distinctly that the picker selection has changed.
4. Open View > User Interface...
5. Select a different UI layout.
6. Apply changes
   * It's in this transition that the picker resets
7. Close the UI dialog.

I know this can be easily and consistently reproduced because it took several attempts to get the recording right.
