(825) Colour picker not context sensitive

[Paolo F Cantoni]

The Colour Picker dialog in the new (825) Formatted Notes is not context sensitive.  That is, if you place it on a section of text, and open the colour picker, it does not highlight (preselect) the existing text colour.  This is contrary to the generally accepted behaviour of colour pickers isn't it?

If multiple colours are in the selected text, then no colour should be preselected.  Preferably, there should be some indication; but if the following UI is adopted, the resulting behaviour will allow one to deduce it without explicit indication.

If a custom colour is the selected text, it should be preselected.

If the colour is neither a standard colour (in the picker) nor a defined custom colour, then the Define Customer >> button should be activated and the colour appropriately selected in the RGB values.

Thoughts? Votes?

Yes,

At least I think so. Can we really define customers in 7.1? I've not seen this before.  

Of course the whole situation with color pickers in EA is one of the rants we share. Perhaps we should lobby the industry in general along the lines of "Each color picker should be unique. There should be as many valid color pickers as there are colors." You've made the consistency point many times before, all valid.
