1871852 - "Add to Custom Colours" does not work

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Widget: Win32, defect)

Description

Steps to reproduce:

Click on the "Add to Custom Colours" (on Windows) in any part of the app where you can select colours.

Actual results:

The colour is temporarily added to the list of custom colours, but when you open it again it disappeared.

Expected results:

The colour should be added to the list of custom colours and should stay there.

This is useful in many cases. Example: when you want to change the colour of multiple folders and want to use the same custom colour for all of them.

Can you re-open it?

This sounds like this issue from SUMO, which is just the expected behavior. Is there more to this bug than that?

Redirect a needinfo that is pending on an inactive user to the triage owner.
:handyman, since the bug has recent activity, could you please find another way to get the information or close the bug as INCOMPLETE if it is not actionable?

For more information, please visit BugBot documentation.

Yes, there is.

Just to clarify, it isn't actually the same issue mentioned in that link.
In the case I reported, the colors disappear as soon as you close the color window. Therefore, it was indeed a bug; as they should be kept until the entire program closes, as noted in your link.
However, it looks like it has finally been fixed in v.153!

Now, the colors are preserved even after you close the window; meaning you can, for example, change the colors of several folders one after the other using the same custom color for all of them.
