Certainly I agree that the color picker issue you reported is a significant usability problem for changing the font color. However, software updates aren’t a free-for-all to fix any bug. As a software engineer yourself, I’m sure you know that any bug fix, no matter how trivial-seeming, still has risk. There’s always a chance that a bug fix will introduce some further problems. For that reason we restrict what fixes go into software updates much more closely than for major software releases (which have longer schedules that allow for more testing). Software update fixes tend to be restricted to issues that are recent regressions, or are known to affect a significant number of users. This particular issue doesn’t seem to fit those criteria. It’s not a new problem, and the fact that it existed through at least one major OS release prior to being reported indicates that it’s not causing big problems for lots of people - if it were, we’d have a lot more reports. -eric
