The color selector

Dear Developers and Artists,

Thank you for the marvel you do...

---

Apologies, but to clarify, what might cause Gwenvew to not allow to select the color for drawing during an active annotation process?

I've clarified at lovely Libera IRC channel #kde, and someone responded that they don't have the same issue on their end, though they specified a different version, 25.04.3, at the moment of 2025-09-03. They also stated that their graphics API was Wayland.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Open any image;
2. Activate annotation mode;
3. Try changing color for drawing by clicking on the color selector.

OBSERVED RESULT

The color selector does not appear.

EXPECTED RESULT

The color selector appears.

Thank you very much, Patrick Silva!

I've tried to search for the same issue, yet failed to find any! I was even confused to not find anything regarding such a likely popular feature.

I've also clarified at the repository regarding the package: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gwenview/+question/822453
