Description Andreas J. Guelzow 2012-05-01 05:40:49 UTC 
new gnumeric
in A1: abc
select the b in A1 and choose red font colour.
Note that even on the sheet the b is still black. THe red colour only appears when editing is finished.
Comment 1 Andreas J. Guelzow 2012-07-26 19:41:38 UTC 
No, the real issue is that the colour is not shown, while the character ought to be selected  (ie. is selected in the GtkEntry). The colour is correctly shown when the character is not selected.
Comment 2 Andreas J. Guelzow 2012-07-26 19:42:38 UTC 
So the real problem is really that we do not show the selection in the item-edit!
Comment 3 Andreas J. Guelzow 2013-04-22 20:41:53 UTC 
Looking closely the selection is shown in the item edit. At least using my theme, the cell background is a light yellow while the selected text has a white background.
Comment 4 Morten Welinder 2013-04-23 23:13:04 UTC 
The yellow you see is probably this very light yellow:

GnmItemEdit {
  background-color: #ffffe0;

  /* This doens't seem to kick in.  We seem to get the color from the
     style.  */
  color: black;
}
