Description Michael Schumacher 2017-07-21 16:58:18 UTC
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.

    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.
