changing text and shape colors was so easy and now its ANNOYING

ok guys the title says it by itself. changing text or shapes colors was so easy - just clicking on it then in the color was enough to change it but now I have to click on the propeties panel and I just want to ask WHY??? why making so difficult something that was so sIMPLE?? 

Im using beta, by the way.
