It looks to me that you still don't understand how it's all meant to work. You found a possibility that we did not intend to have, involving dragging. This unexpected behavior that you found will be disallowed in future versions. Here's how it's supposed to work: In the Colors tab of the

I think the selection of colours in the palette should actually precede the bit to change the colours on the profile in the tab to set colours for the profile if you need to fiddle with that first. It nowhere actually explicitly says, in the "Help" documentation, something to the effect "having

We just made the actual behavior a bit cleaner. Can you point out any particular piece of text in the help that you think mislead you and could be improved? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu.

Thanks for your help. I think I understand it now in that I've got all the colours I want for my profiles. I do think that the Help for gnome-terminal might possibly be a bit clearer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to

The bottom 16 "palette" pictures are not the colors to choose from. They are the 16 basic slots whose colors you can also configure. Click on any of these: either default fg/bg, bold colors etc. or one of the bottom 16 ones. Pick a color in the color cube or enter a hex value. Close this window

Confession that I didn't notice the checkbox in front of the grayed out font option. I created a new profile by pressing the + sign. It does seem to work better if I "clone" a profile I've discovered. However with the colours there still seems to be a problem whatever I do with the checkboxes.

I have to start by asking the obvious: Did you notice the checkbox in front of the grayed out options and toggled them? If so: How do you create the new profile: by creating a fresh one (the "+" sign next to "Profiles") or by cloning an existing one? I don't think anything of importance changed
