Well, one of our current gsoc projects is all about creating a new palette docker. There was some indication this was worked on in 4.0.4. It does seem to be better, but still flakey. In particular I notice: 1. Adding a color gives a narrow rectangle rather than a square one. 2. Selecting a color in the palette as often as not brings up the properties for the color instead of setting the color. I assume the latter is supposed to happen on a double click. 3. I have had good luck with an added color appearing (subject to item 1) but deleting a color often doesn't remove it from the palette as displayed. All of these can be fixed by selecting another palette then going back to the one I am using (a real nuisance to do). It thus seems as if the refresh that is being performed after actions like the above is not as full a refresh as is needed. Boud is working on replacing the palette docker entirely. Closing this one. |
