ronanski Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 When I have text selected, whether with the text tool (highlighted) or the selection tool, I cannot choose a colour via the eyedropper. It just deselects the text when I click the eyedropper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 There is a work around for this situation, you select the text and then use the eyedropper from the Colour's panel to select the colour and finally click on the Colour panel's Eyedropper's colour well to assign the colour to the still selected text. ronanski 1 Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.0 | Affinity Photo 2.4.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.0 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted April 21, 2021 Staff Share Posted April 21, 2021 Hi Ronanski, Please consult the link below when reporting bugs to us and try to include as much information as possible including a step by step receipe you're using to reproduce the issue.https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/71-bug-reporting/ Are you using Artistic Text or Frame Text, and do you only have a few characters selected, rather than the entire contents? If you only have a few characters selected then unfortunately you will need to use the Colour Panel's Picker to change the currently highlighted text. The Eyedropper Tool is designed to apply the colour to the entire object, and in this case it will be all of the text in the object, and not just the highlighted piece of text.

ronanski Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Oh it was artistic text tool. And it was the whole text or object selected, so should've worked. I tried the other eyedropper and that worked, and then since that, it now works the other way... I seem to get a lot of intermittent bugs lately Old Bruce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
