[solved] TC 9.5b4 x64 - Colorbox "Others:" doesn't update when changing item. Dark mode only
In TC 9.5b4 64bit in Dark mode the colorbox next to the "Others:" dropdownbox in the Color configuration dialog, does not update until the cursor is moved over the colorbox.
To reproduce:
1. Switch to Dark mode.
2. Select colors (not just "default") for some of the items in the "Others:" dropdown box - for example for the "Lister:" - "Text color" and "Background color" (choose different colors - of course).
3. Close and reopen the Configuration dialog.
4. Click on "Lister:" - "Text color" - the color in the colorbox changes to the previously selected color.
5. Click on"Lister:" - "Background color" - nothing happens until you move the cursor over the colorbox - then the color changes.
Reproduced under Windows 7 and 10

NOT confirmed, here it updates immediately. I tried with 32-bit and 64-bit, with Windows 10 and also without theme on XP.

I couldn't reproduce it. But I'm now sending "invalidate" explicity to the color combobox in beta 5. Can you please check if it fixes it for you?
If not, I will need to investigate further.
