Hi - I can't reproduce on my device - the pop-ups for both the color and border/fill selection appear as expected.

Just to check, can you reproduce the issue using a new user profile on your device, with no customizations?

Yeah, I created a new user, logged in, took a screenshot, opened the image in gwenview and tried to annotate it and the same thing happened. This is a fairly fresh install of arch. I don't have tooo many things installed aside from the base plasma setup that gets installed so I'm not sure where the issue lies. Happy to keep trying things though!

Bumping priority here, as there does not appear to be a workaround at this time.

This seems to be fixed for me on Qt 6.9.1 on Arch Linux. Is it the same with anyone else?
