Bug Description

Hi Friends,
What I mean by "X swatch" is the swatch at the far left of the color palette, which is a black X on a white background, and which removes the fill, or with Shift, removes the stroke.

Whenever I'm working with any color on the palette for which I have to scroll the palette, even a tiny bit, it scrolls the X swatch out of view, and out of reach, except by scrolling back. I know when making a webpage it's possible to code it so that some element or block stays visible, even when the page is scrolled (sorry, I can't remember the correct terminology). So I wonder if something like that would be possible for Inkscape?

Or maybe the X button could be moved up, so that it's not part of the palette, but at the bottom of the toolbar, just above the palette?

Note that I do realize one can remove fills and strokes in other ways, like with Fill and Stroke dialog. But one can also add fills and strokes from the F/S dialog (as well as from the palette). So it seems I'm either working from the F/S dialog, or working from the palette, and switching back and forth is as distracting as scrolling the palette constantly.

Also, please note that I have no background in coding or software development. So I have no clue if this would be easy or impossible. But I guess it can't hurt to ask :-)

Thanks for listening!
