Colour bug affecting multiple tools

[muganga]

This is a really odd one using Photo V1.7.1.404. It has happened several times.

I have a simple image with three four sided shapes (I'll call them panels). They were cloned from one original and have been filled with various colours as I tried to get my image right.

Intermittently one of the panels will no longer accept colour changes by any method, flood fill, transparency changes, nothing works. Even more bizarre the colours shown are clearly wrong and even vary. So I select a panel and it shows one set of values, I deselect and then select it again and it shows a different (equally wrong) set of values, yet I have changed nothing. Saving the image exiting and restarting makes no difference. This is not something I have ever seen before. Stability seems better except for this strange behaviour.

Once a panel gets into this state, it cannot be modified, the only solution is to ditch it and create a new one. This is more than a little frustrating in an otherwise excellent product.

That sounds very odd.

Once you get something in that state, can you save the .afphoto file and attach a copy here so we can look at it and try to see the problem?

Will do. It's somewhat intermittent, but I will look through backup copies and try to see if I have a saved one that misbehaves.
