Artist-friendly colours in Paint (again)

A relatively minor one, but just in case it hasn’t been logged yet:

Changing the “Artist-friendly colour order” setting in Paint choices will not redraw the “Colours” window of a 256-colour sprite. Dragging another window over the “Colours” window does force a redraw of the obscured portion.

Witnessed with Paint 2.41 on RISC OS 5.29 (13 June 2021 build) and with Paint 2.37 on RISC OS 5.28.

As I don’t want to create yet another thread, here’s another minor bug in Paint:

The shortcuts F4 (Scale X), Shift-F4 (Scale Y) and Ctrl-H (Shear) cannot be cancelled. Pressing ESC (or clicking outside the window) performs the action as if you had pressed Enter.

This does not happen if you use the menus.

The remaining shortcuts listed on the Edit menu (e.g. F5 insert columns) do not exhibit the bug.

Witnessed with Paint 2.37 on RISC OS 5.28, and with Paint 2.42 on RISC OS 5.29 (08 July 2021 build).

Thanks for unearthing those Stuart. I’ll take a look. Let us know if you come across any more bugs.

I’ve fixed both of these, hopefully available in the next version of Paint quite soon.
