Nice software but please fix the Color bug

[357mag]

Every time I switch to a different font color to accent something (like blue) Atlantis wants to keep blue on all the damn time.

It doesn't want to switch back to normal black.

And I click on the button and I choose black but when I start typing the font color is still on blue.

This has been irritating me for a long time.

Do you click on “Black” or on “Auto”?
Which color is the color bar on the “Font Color” toolbar button after you have clicked on “Black” or on “Auto” in the color palette?

I have used both options Black and Auto. It seems I have to keep monkeying around with the thing to get the blue to shut off.

Maybe I am not doing the right thing.

If I recall I think I also have tried shutting off the blue immediately after typing the last letter in blue at the end of the line.

When there is no selection in the document window, and you click the "Font color" toolbar button or any item from the drop-down menu of the "Font color" toolbar button, the "Font color" mode is activated. When this mode is on, any text you type gets automatically formatted with the chosen color. To deactivate the mode, you can click the "Font color" toolbar button, or simply press the Esc key.

How exactly do you switch to a different font color? Do you use the “Format | Font…” dialog, or do you use the “Font Color” drop-down on the toolbars?
Which style is current as you type? Is it associated with a specific font color like “Blue”?
Do you apply the font color to a selection, or do you switch to a different font color before typing with the chosen font color?
Which color is the color bar on the “Font Color” toolbar button as you type?
Which shape is the mouse cursor while you type?
Is it the I-Beam cursor?

Or is it the “pencil” cursor?

I'll try the Administrators suggestions the next time I need to highlight some text in a different color.

Thanks for helping and you too Robert, but right now I'm too out of it to answer all of your questions.

I'll get this straightened out.
