Naming the first color in a new palette is hard

Taken from https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/95282/how-can-i-name-a-color-in-a-gimp-palette "Using GIMP 2.8.22 on Windows 10. I've created a new palette. I add a color to the palette and now I want to name the color. I click on "undefined" but when I start typing it just triggers whatever tool shortcut is associated with the letter I'm typing. I can even highlight the word "undefined" but still typing only trigger tool shortcuts. How can I name a color?" and "Just figured this out. UI seems a little glitchy (from my perspective). As far as I can tell, by adding a second color to the palette and then selecting the first color the color title will switch from "undefined" to "untitled". At this point I can then edit the color name."
Uh. This is definitely a bug and also happens on master as I could confirm.
Thanks, fixed in master and gimp-2-8: commit 15fe785ba3f256e6a8247c99853494edf6eaf9cb Author: Michael Natterer <mitch@gimp.org> Date: Tue Jul 25 22:50:15 2017 +0200 Bug 785240 - Naming the first color in a new palette is hard Use the proper API to select a newly added palette color, so all internal states are updated and the entry becomes editable.
