This morning's task, change the colour of a simple path …

open graphic, use colour picker, enter hex value, click OK. Either nothing happens, or (sometimes) the colour changes but not to the value I just typed in.

Any ideas? thanks in advance.

    There were certain versions where this was a bug. So what version is it?

    And what system?

    Your steps seem to be missing one essential ingredient—just to check, you do actually have something selected?

    Good question … prompted by poor description. Yes, I do have something selected. I'm now (vaguely) beginning to wonder if Colour settings have anything to do with? I note that while RGB has a checkmark, all the options from the little Colour panel are greyed out.

    Hey. Well, always best to check.

     

    I think you may be in an opacity mask—as Monika suggested, please send screenshots.
