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. If I go to the "colors" tab I get the first picture (after selecting custom in both drop-downs) If I click on "default background" I get the second picture. If I click on (say) the light green I get the third picture. But then if I click on "select" it just goes back to the second picture and I have to get out of it by pressing "cancel". It's the same if explicitly type in an RGB value or if I click somewhere in the rectangle first. Same story with foreground / cursor foreground background etc. If it's a "cloned" one I do seem to find it works eventually but I might have to do it a few times before it digests it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2050908 Title: Prefences does not work properly on new profiles To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/2050908/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
