Description Stephen 2017-06-17 17:48:01 UTC 
I have a custom colour profile set for all users for my single display output. On 3.22 it (mostly) kept using that profile properly.

On 3.24, VT switching away from and then back to the session (e.g. via Ctrl+Alt+F[n], chvt [n], using Shell's standard "switch user" mechanism) always results in the output reverting to unprofiled default colour. The Colour settings pane (incorrectly) continues to show the user-configured profile. Double-clicking the configured (and ticked) profile results in it being applied again.

This affects all accounts/GNOME sessions the same way - any time the VT is switched to the session, it has reverted to unprofiled colour.
Comment 1 Stephen 2017-07-02 10:25:19 UTC 
This is an intermittent bug - over the last week the colour profile was persisting after VT switches, but today, after logging off as one user and then logging that user back in, the bug has reappeared.
Comment 2 Stephen 2017-07-02 10:30:50 UTC 
Also the reversion to the default colour profile can sometimes be seen the instant before the VT switches - so e.g. doing Ctrl-Alt-F[n], the tint of the content of the session being switched away from changes before the display switches to showing the content of the session being switched to.
