double clicking on the fill/stroke in status bar should take you to the fill/stroke dialog

[insaner]

It would be great to be able to just double-click on the "status bar" (or whatever the bottom bar is officially called) where Fill and Stroke are shown as two color bars (or "Unset") and have that open, or take you to the Fill/Stroke dialog.

Please always add information about OS/platform and Inkscape version (see Inkscape menu 'Help > About Inkscape') to the bug description, thank you.

Works for me in Inkscape 0.48 (except for stroke style (bug #484135)) and 0.91 (all three tabs of the 'Fill & Stroke' bar can be accessed via a single click on the corresponding swatches of current style indicator at the right end of the status bar).

Do you use floating dialogs? Could be a related to
- Bug #1088182 “Fill & Stroke "Floating Window" not loading when clicking on F&S color swatches in bottom bar”

Or do you have the Fill & Stroke dialog minimized in the dock?

Correction:
- current style indicator at the right end of the status bar
+ current style indicator at the left end of the status bar

agh, I wanted to file it quickly, and forgot:

r13850.

I also for some reason couldn't find bug #1154129 when I searched for almost those exact terms. Nor Bug #1088182. This seems to be the exact problem I am having.

Some more info (maybe I should post it in Bug #1088182 too).

I have my dialogs docked.
When the dialogs are showing, clicking (once) on the F/S selector at the bottom bar exposes the F/S dialog.
Minimizing the F/S dialog with the triangle button on the top right corner, and then clicking on the F/S selector at the bottom triggers the problem. Ie, nothing happens.
If instead of minimizing the F/S dialog, I close it with the "X" button at the top right corner, then clicking on the F/S selector at the bottom *does* bring it up.

Sorry, then it is NOT a duplicate of bug #1088182 (that's about floating dialogs, see prefs). Linking as duplicate to bug #1270295.
