4dimage Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 OS: Windows 10 Pro for Workstations Version: 22H2 Build: 19045.2251 Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.4180.0 This bug applies similiar to all three Products (Designer, Publisher, Photo) Version 2.0.0 Reason I added a document color palette and tried to add some global colors to this palette. I always do this via contextmenu on a selected element. So the element is selected during the whole process described here. The viewmode in the color swatches panel ist set to "list". Bug The global color was added with a automated name e.g. "Globale Farbe 1". After renaming my global color to a custom name "blau" via contextmenu "Globale Farbe umbenennen" (-> OK), the inital Name stil is visible in the color palette listview. Only in the color panel the new color name "blau" is now visible (new global color is applied on the selected element). Furthermore if i do "Globale Farbe umbenennen" for the second time, the modal input stil shows the inital color name. If i change it to the same custom name "blau" -> OK, i get a warning popup, that this name can't be applied because of a duplicate. So internally the global color seems to be renamed with the first attempt. But the dialog does not sync to this change. Here is the whole process step by step Fresh document, initial layout. A simple rectangle with color set via color panel rulers. Add custom document color palette "test" to the document and switch to this palette Raise contextmenu on selected elment and add global color from selected object. The global color appears in list with default automated Name "Globale Farbe 1" Rename the global color via contextmenu in palette list. Change name to "blau" -> OK. The new name does not change in the list of global colors but only in the color panel. global color was automatically applied to selected element, so this is the expected behaviour there. But the new name has also to change in the listview of the spot color panel. Try to rename the list entry via contextmenu. The modal stil shows the inital color name. Try to change this to "blau" for the second time -> warning pops up, that this name is already in use. It seems the new name "blau" had already been set internally from the first attempt. To have the new interal name "blau" shown up in the listview you have eiter to: - save the document, close and reopen it or - close the color swatches panel and reopen it (via main menu) The same missvehavoir applies to the color panel, if the "wrong" color name "Globale Farbe 1" is maintained on the selected object. After switching element color and reapply "Globale Farbe 1" from the listview this wrong name now also shows up in the color panel. To show the internal "real" global color name "blau" you also have to close and reopen the color panel.

Cristian Dragos Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I can confirm this and is driving me nuts! A temporary fix is to switch the color palette to a different one and then switch back to the one you're using. Hope it gets fixed in the next update! Quote Check out my awesome Affinity Creations!
