I changed the colour of the text on a Bitmap knob, and then I copied & pasted that Bitmap, and the text showed the default grey. When I checked on the colour properties in the copied module, the colour change was still there, but didn't take effect until I clicked "OK"

Confirmed; looks like a bugette 😮

Hmm, I'm having trouble replicating this. I dragged a bitmap knob in, opened the properties, change the colour then copied and pasted the knob and all was fine, do I need to do anything else?

It's a bit odd this one. The first time it happened, I was about 5 layers deep in a module, but last night I opened up one of my schematics, and for some unknown reason, several of the volume controls on the front page had reset to their white default colour. When I went into the properties, it was showing as red text colour, but this did not take effect until I opened up the colour properties and confirmed. This occasion was only about 2 or 3 layers into the module. I'm not really sure what you should do to replicate this - sorry.

Just for info: This bug is still occuring in the new version.

I don't doubt that this is happening, but we need to be able to replicate it otherwise it's almost impossible to track down the problem. I've tried but it just doesn't happen for me.
If you have a schematic that shows this up then if you wouldn't mind sending it to me I might have a better chance of spotting it.
Have you had any luck in working out what you need to do to make this happen?

Indeed, quite difficult to replicate exactly. 🙁
@Malc: when I have an example which can be reproduced by going through fixed steps then I'll send it to you...

This bug has popped back up again. It went away for the last few versions, but now it's back with a vengeance....
Try this:
Open the file attached and go into the Parametric EQ. Open up the properties on one of the grey labels I have pasted in there. You should see that the colour label is white, but it is not showing up as white for the text. If you click on the colour, and then close it again, it will correct itself.
To replicate this, you can just change one of the colours (to say red) then copy & paste that label. It will revert to dark grey again....
Cheers,
Mike

I don't think that this is the same bug. It happens because inside of the EQ are defined styles, one of the styles is the color "Label" which is set to gray. And your added Label modules use it, until you change it.

Hi Mike,
i already recognized this behaviour before with the toggle switch which also contains two labels (On/off) Based on your example I don´t think it´s a colour bug but more a timing issue.
You feed the text colour with a colour switch. The wanted colour hardwired, and a global label colour from the properties module linked wireless to the same switch. From my point of view it is the wireless connection which is triggered (activated) by the copy and paste action and therefore you always get the standard dark grey coulour.
