The problem in the bug is that clicking outside the palette but in the editing area deselects any selected text without applying the color first. A workaround is to select text, select color, click anywhere on the toolbar. I added this in a comment on the bug. > Benjamin suggested to have an ok/cancel button to make the end > of the selection clear http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/388#comment:7 I assume that you mean something like the palette controls in Paint. (Screenshot attached.) Would we want to unify these palettes? If Write can apply the color before deselecting the text, or without deselecting the text, users will have a much easier time. But that may not be what users want. Should clicking outside the box mean OK or Cancel? I consider it fundamental to UI design that clicking to get focus in a window or remove it from a dialogue box should not trigger any action in the window being activated. > Do others agree?
