Open Output Window settings. Change the value for the Background property using the custom editor. The Foreground property editor changes to the same color. Subsequent changes of the Background property do not have this effect, but subsequently changing the Foreground property causes the Background property editor to change color. Looks as if the Foreground property editor is attaching a listener to the Background property and vice versa.
I cannot reproduce it or don't understand. Do you think its another behaviour as e.g. in editor color settings?
Two problems here. Thinking about it, maybe I have a better understanding of the first one now: 1. Try changing the Foreground property to some random color. Close it and do it again. Now change the Background property, or change the Foreground property. I'm not sure exactly what is going on, but it looks like possibly the property editor attaches a listener to the color editor each time you open it, but does not remove it: open it twice, and there is still one listener attached the second time it is closed. So when you use that custom color editor instance on some other property, there are two listeners attached - one from the property editor you want to use, and one from the one you used before. When you change the background property using the custom editor, both the Foreground and Background properties get set to whatever color you select.
It's not problem of OW, but Color property editor. Mark as duplicate of #17240 *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 17240 ***
