Custom Color in Property Editor

Post by steve2 » Wed Apr 10, 2024 9:42 am

Hi,
choosing a custom color in the Property Editor shows an unexpected result:
1) pressing "Cancel" in the colorpicker changes color of the selected entity to black (#000000)
2) colorpicker does not show the current color of the selected entity but always black (#000000)

System:
- QCAD Pro: qcad-3.29.6-pro-linux-qt5.14-x86_64
- OpenSuse (KDE Plasma 6.0.3; X11; Qt Version 6.6.3)

Thanks for your report.

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the problem here. Can you attach a screenshot of what it looks like when launching the color picker? I'm wondering if your KDE setup might have replaced the Qt color picker with something else.

Thanks, I can reproduce this problem now. It occurs when deselecting and then reselect the entity after changing its color.

I switched to a previous configuration and the problem disappeared.
