Description Joe T 2014-08-13 14:38:23 UTC
Problem description: 
When editing context changes the displayed toolbars, some formatting options get reset to defaults.

Steps to reproduce:
0. You need a document with a mix of text and images.

1. Select some text. From the Text Formatting toolbar, open Highlighting color picker, choose anything other than default Yellow. The color is applied and selected color remains as the quick-click option.

2. Click on an image to select it. The Text Formatting toolbar should be replaced by the Image toolbar.

3. You don't have to do anything to the image. Click back into some text. The Text Formatting toolbar returns, but the Highlight quick-pick color is reset to Yellow.

Current behavior:
Quick-click selections are reset when editing context changes & then changes back. This applies to Highlighting, Background, and Font Color (that i've seen so far).

Expected behavior:
Formatting selections that come from a picker and are retained for easier repetition should persist until changed from the picker itself, not reset when the editing context changes.

This specific bug appears to be fixed. Hurray!

However, there's a variation of it that occurs with changing the User Interface.

While testing several of the options for laying out menus (all of which worked), i noticed that after switching from one layout to another, the color pickers reset to their defaults.

Should i file a new bug for that, or can it be addressed as part of this one?

I think a new report would be nice to give a fresh start :) Thanks for testing.
