It's very modal on Windows ;-)

I tested it on Mac, Windows and three Linuxes (Ubuntu, Fedora and Mint). The text in composer was never editable when the colour dialog was open.

Ales, on what Linux distro are you? Have you tried with extensions disabled (see Help menu)?

I am on KDE in openSuse Tumbleweed, but right now I am traveling only with my laptop where I have probably newer version of TB than I had on my workstation when I reported this bug and it works normaly. Also I have 3x 4k monitor attached to my workstation but none to my laptop. I can confirm if it is still an issue when I get back in three weeks.

Please close this as it is no longer reproducible.
