Last night I entering some data into a solution via Servoy Client, and had this problem when I wished to apply a different color to a block of text:
1-- select the block of text
2-- click on the text-color button of the Text toolbar
3-- pick a color
4-- nothing happens
5-- select the block of text again
6-- click on the text-color button again
7-- pick a color again
8-- now the text-color change "sticks"
I realized what is happening is that the first click on the toolbar button saves the record and therefore causes the text-selection to be void before choosing a color. I reduced the necessary number of steps, then, to this:
1-- click on the background of the form
2-- go back into the field, locate the text block in question and select it
3-- now click the text-color button
4-- pick a color
It is not necessary to exit the record first when using the Bold, Italic or other buttons on the toolbar.
Is this just how the text-color button works? Do I just need to RT*Manual for Client? Or is this an Issue? If so is there a workaround?
