Save state of Font Color choosing tool. Swatches > Wheel.

[LeDesign]

When I change the font color, the option window opens. I always have to click on "Swatches"-Tab. Please save the state of the selected tab. In my case, I always work with swatches and never with the preselected color wheel.

As a workaround you could assign a keyboard shortcut to the swatches panel.

Then leave the panel in the middle of your screen.

Hit the key to show, select the colour, hit again to hide.
