SUMMARY if text is just created and not saved in text editor it will be changed when you go to setting and click ok. it doesn't affect font size or type, only color. it also happens if you save changes, quit text editor, open it once again and again try to change color, go to settings and click ok. tested on manjaro kde and ubuntu 18 (snap package). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. create text area, so the text editor pops up 2. change text color, size and font type 3. in text editor window go to settings > settings 4. don't change any settings and click ok OBSERVED RESULT text color is changed to the previous or default (if text was newly created) size and font type stay unchanged EXPECTED RESULT text color stays the same SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS manjaro kde latest (14.07.2020). specs: https://pastebin.com/vVYLjhDR ubuntu 18 lts
I can confirm this for appimages from 4.2.0 to the latest Jul 15 5.0.9 prealpha (git c2b2b79) on Debian 10 MATE desktop... ... Except for the following points: The changes to text font, size, colour and any text addition/deletions are all reverted when the Settings OK button is pressed. (This also happens if you do make changes within the Settings.)
