In the gradient selection menu, a persistent red box appears around a color after selection, hindering further color changes within the same session. To make additional color changes, I must exit and re-enter the gradient color menu.
Reproduction:
Select an object to which you want to apply a gradient.
Open the properties panel for the selected object.
Click on the gradient property to open the gradient color menu.
Select a color from the available options.
Notice a red box appears around the selected color.
Attempt to select another color within the gradient selection menu.
Observe that no further color changes are registered and the red box remains around the initially selected color.
Close the gradient color menu.
Re-open the gradient color menu and attempt to select a different color.
Observe that color selection is now possible after re-entering the menu.
I’m on MacOS Sonoma 14.3
Macbook Pro M3 Max
Expected behavior
I should be able to continuously select different colors within the gradient selection menu without the need to exit and re-enter the menu.
Unfortunately I’ve been experiencing this issue lately too and it affects my workflow tremendeously, compared to windows - I’ve never had such problems, I really hope this is addressed asap as it has already months since it was reported.
Thanks for your patience! We just enabled a fix for this issue in v641. The color picker will now include cancel/confirm buttons prompting you to either accept or reject the changes you made to the color.
