Color chooser does not always work when giving color to selected text

[erikos]

Steps to reproduce:

- write some text

- select text

- change color

- dismiss palette (clicking on the canvas)

There seem to be a timeout. When you leave the palette open for a while the color change seem to happen. When you go away immediately it does not. I remember we had already tickets about it on sugarlabs... Benzea might be a good person as well to talk to about it.

This problem can be tested in Write but is more evident in Paint.

Change Component to sugar-toolkit

See this thread for handling the issue: http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2010-December/029096.html

self._text_color = ColorToolButton()
        self._text_color_id = self._text_color.connect('notify::color', self._text_color_cb)

def _text_color_cb(self, button, pspec):
        newcolor = self._text_color.get_color()

Seem to work here fine (based on the answers from Benjamin). (Change is in Write)

Can be tested in Write 63.4 and Paint 30

Test in os358

I setup an XO-1 10.1.2 system to look at the bug occurring first so I could figure out what the fix was. It happens in Write when you try to change text colors quickly with the "new" color selector which does not default to forcing you to use a color wheel by default.

I then tested on an XO-1 and 1.5 with 10.1.3 os358 to verify that the issue was fixed. You may not see the color change immediately if you click out of the color changer dropdown in a way which keeps the text to be color changed highlighted, but will see the change after the highlight is removed from said text.
