I'm wondering if this is a release packaging issue since this seems to work ok
in my 12/17/00 debug Linux build.

hmmm, you can bring it up from the menus, I didn't read the original description
too well so ignore my last comment.

Do you see any errors thrown in the console when you press the color button on
the toolbar? For windows and mac builds, you can bring up the console by
starting the app with a -console command line arg.

this is worse than first reported.

you can open the palette window from the menu choice but the palette is not 
working.  the only color that can be picked is usign the last color picked 
button.  clicking on any color on the palette does not change the color choice.
that makes this a smoketets blocker.

Hmmm quite strange since it's working just fine for me in my debug linux build.

What theme are you using "Modern" or "Classic"? I'm using classic, and can't
seem to switch to modern with my build.

It's happening in todays commercial builds in either theme

The summary of the bug is still true, but that's not a blocker... there's a
workaround for the other problem (with the palette itself)... you can type in
the name of the colour you want... reducing severity.

On IRC Leaf said he saw the following in his console:

    <leaf> In NewEditorWindow()...
    <leaf> moo!failed to get command manager number 3
    <leaf> failed to get command manager number 2
    <leaf> Registering commands
    <leaf> Have Find = true
    <leaf> Have SpellChecker = true

I see something similar too, though things work ok for me:

    In NewEditorWindow()...
    WEBSHELL+ = 4
    WEBSHELL+ = 5
    Enabling Quirk StyleSheet
    WARNING: Replacing existing command -- cmd_printSetup, file

    failed to get command manager number 2

    Have Find = true
    Have SpellChecker = false

My tree is up to date as of last Friday (12/15) and I see the problems described,
so someone busted this shortly before then. We (editor team) hasn't made any
changes to this code, so it is a side effect of other changes.
I will investigate.
