There seems to be a bug related to 2-color linear gradients, where one of the colors is Transparent. (This probably applies to all gradients of any number of colors, but I’m not going to test everything...)
When one of the colors is the Transparent option, it seems to display as a low-opacity black. It doesn’t make any sense, but it’s easy to reproduce.
- draw a box, set the fill color to white
- change the fill style to linear
- remove the middle color (I think linear gradients always start with 3 colors)
- change one of the colors to white
- start to change the other color to Transparent, but don’t even click the “color”. Just point at it.
I have created an open-to-everyone chart that shows exactly what I did and how I worked around it.
So I’m really reporting two bugs here.
- The above.
- I regularly need to use the same colors at different opacity values. I can create them, but then they’re just shown in the table of custom colors without any label or indication of opacity. This is completely useless, so I end up having to create another custom color every single time. If the one I pick matches one that’s already there, it uses that, but that doesn’t help.
