BUG: Font colour inconsistency
« on: August 23, 2007, 10:14:36 pm »
Apart from the fact that you can't control enough of the rendering with the stereotype rendering override, when you select the font via the <Context Menu>|Appearance>Set Font... a default (<automatic>) colour needs to be provided so that you can change the font styles WITHOUT changing the colour!

It's bothered me for over two years and I've finally figured out why I get the weird behaviour I observe!

I know with shape scripts I can do this kind of stuff!  But that isn't the point!  ::)

I agree, it is a little messy...

Yes indeed. Poor form to say the least.

This should be a fairly simple thing to improve, and would promote usability.

And, no danger of corrupting the overall EAUI 'feature' set.  ;)
