[unchanged] TC 9.5rc2 -inconsistency in color configuration dialog - "Others:"

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

[unchanged] TC 9.5rc2 -inconsistency in color configuration dialog - "Others:"

Post by *petermad »

In the Color configuration dialog the Item "Lister:" is always shown in the "Others:" dropdown menu at startup.

If I click on any of the other headers in the dropdown menu (non indented items) like for example: "Compare by contents:" - then the Example window changes to show examples for that category.

But if I click on "Lister:" it is the File panel examples that is shown, not the Lister examples. I have to click on one of the subitems to change to Lister examples.

Maybe there should be a menu item above the "Lister:" item - either just blank - or using String 2083="Main Window" - so that "Lister:" could work the same way as tyhe other categoy headers.

I think that string 5266="Others:" should be changed to something more informative, for example "Change colors in other windows:"

That would be more confusing that it is now, so I will not change it, sorry.
