Bug#907858: inkscape: changes in grid color in the preferences take effect only after restart of the document
Package: inkscape
Version: 0.92.1-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I changed the color of the grid lines in the preferences.
First, nothing changed.
Only when I closed the document and reopened/restarted it did the color change take effect.
It would be great if the color would change immediately and would not require a restart.
In other applications there is often an [Apply] button that makes changes in the
preferences effective. That might be useful here as well.
As a minor issue aside, a [Close] button in the color change window that pops up when I
klick on the color for minor or major lines in the preferences would be useful, or
closing it on typing return. Would save one klick.
Best,
Josef.
