Swatches panel: cannot delete document and app palettes [fixed]

[loukash]

Choosing Delete Palette from the Swatches panel hamburger menu does nothing when attempting to delete document or app palettes. 
The following dialog should appear: "Confirm Delete. Are you sure you want to delete palette named 'xyz'?"

Affects all three apps 2.3.0.2114
Don't know if it already affected the previous 2.3 betas.
Works on 2.2.1.

Ventura 13.6.1, MacBookAir M2 15"

Same issue.  No dialog appears.  Was same on previous beta rev (from yesterday) and not fixed on 2114 either.

also on MacOS, fwiw

The option to Delete an Application Palette is greyed out so can't even be selected and as mentioned above the option to delete a Document Palette can be chosen but it doesn't invoke the Confirm Delete option.

Not for me on Mac. But there's no dialog to execute the command.
Although I vaguely remember there may have been a similar bug before where the default application palettes weren't deletable?

MacOS system palettes are grayed out, of course. Those are being managed via the Apple Color Picker.

My error, I had inadvertently added a System rather than an Application Palette! 😜

Hi @loukash

I can reproduce this and will get it logged with the devs, thank you.

@EmT, there is already a somewhat related bug in v2.2.x:

1. choose "Delete" for a linked app palette
2. click "Delete From All Apps"
3. the app palette is deleted from this app but not from the other two apps: it remains there, unlinked, and has to be deleted individually two more times

So it only got worse in 2.3…

Thanks @loukash that's also been logged now.
