SelectionStyle.BackColor reset

[Gary Smith]

I have set in the properties window for Style.SelectionStyle.BackColor to Wheat.  I run the program and immediately stop the program.  I check the properties window and the .BackColor is set to 166,216,255.

Why is the .BackColor not sticking once I set it in the properties.  I would rather not set this at runtime, as that is inefficient.

Thank you.

Hi Gary Smith,
 

We would like to let you know that Essential Studio Weekly NuGet packages (v29.2.10) has been published in nuget.org with the fix for the issue “SelectionStyle.BackColor property is not properly serialized when set via the Designer". Please let us know if you have any concerns in this.

 

Root cause analysis:

The issue occurred due to an incorrect value returned by the serialize method, which prevents the BackColor property from being serialized correctly.
