Potential Bugs In Field Coloring

[WaltBrown]

Attached is a stack which illustrates two problems:

1. If the lines of a field have different background colors, if you delete a line, the text of the line is deleted and the rest of the text moves up, but the background color of that line is retained, and the background color of the subsequent line is lost. Part of this process includes the oddity that if you set the backColor of a line in a field using the colorName, then ask for the backColor, it is returned as RGB values.

2. This happens in LC 5.5.5 and 6.6.2 on Win7 64. On 7.0 (rc 1) asking for the backColor of a line in a field returns the word "mixed", not the RGB value, which is also a bug.

Maybe I am doing something wrong?
Thanks

Hi Walt,

I see the problem you describe on a Mac in LC 6.6.2, 6.6.5. There is no problem in LC 6.7.2 nor 7.0.2 rc 2

I guess the bug was somehow corrected in the later versions.

Kind regards
Bernd

Thanks Bernd, 7.0.1 fixes both issues.
