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 Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2050908 Title: Prefences does not work properly on new profiles Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: After creating a new profile, "preferences" does not work correctly. I want to have a selection of profiles as I log in to a variety of systems and want the background colours to quickly distinguish as to which host server a given terminal is connected to. For example I have an entry on my desktop "Window to UH" which invokes: Exec=gnome-terminal --profile=UH -e 'ssh -X -l jcollins -e none star.herts.ac.uk' I want UH profile to hack a background of light blue and use a distinctive font and size. However after creating the profile and setting about changing the font and colours, I find that the font selection is greyed out and attempts to change the colour selections fail. I can work around this by using "dconf-editor", working through to the profile and changing the font and colours "by hand" but this is unwieldy. There would seem to be a bug in the preferences menu entry introduced between 20.10 and 22.04.
