SYMPTOMS
Background colors assigned to windows, panes, or popups are not updated after selecting a new color from the Color dialog. If a color is selected while the Default Color checkbox is turned on, the background color is correctly updated. However, if the Default checkbox is not turned on before selecting a new background color and no other window property is modified, the background color reverts to its previous state. As soon as any other property is modified, the background color is updated.



CAUSE
Background color states for an object are not updated properly when:
 * The Default Color checkbox is not turned on.

-or-
 * No other property is modified in the Properties dialog box.



RESOLUTION
To modify the background color for a window, pane, or popup, execute the following steps:
 * 1) Select Windows Definitions from the Section menu, and select the object to be modified.
 * 2) Click the Properties button, and turn on the Use Default Color checkbox.
 * 3) Click the Background Color browse button, and click the desired color. Previewing will now display the object with the selected background color. Modifying any other property in addition to the background color, will correctly adjust the object's background color.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
