gcolor2 tool saved colors cannot be deleted

[Roger Lancefield]

Binary package hint: gcolor2

GNOME's gcolor2 utility allows the current colour to be saved for future use. A Delete button is provided to remove unwanted colours from the saved list, but this has not worked on my last two Ubuntu installations, 8.10 and 9.04 (32-bit).

Highlighting a saved colour and clicking the delete button causes a confirmation box to be displayed asking if you really wish to delete the selected colour, but confirming this merely closes the box without the delete occurring. It seems that this is not a session-related matter either, restarting gcolor2, or even GNOME, has no effect, the supposedly deleted colours remain in the list.

The package I am currently using (on Jaunty) is:

Source package: /usr/bin/gcolor2
Version 0.4-2

I find the ability to save colour hex strings a real time saver when doing graphical development work, working with CSS, etc. and it would be great to see the delete feature fixed.

Hi, I have the same problem (Ubuntu 9.10) but you can edit manually the file: ~/.rgb.txt
There are the saved colors :P
