[Glade-users] Color values too long (48 instead of 24 bits)

[Oliver Kellogg]

Hi,

In glade-3.8.5, I created a GtkLabel and in the Label Properties - General tab at "Edit label appearance" selected "Attributes: Edit".
In the "Setup Text Attributes" dialog, at "Foreground Color" I selected the pen symbol, which brings up the "Select a color" dialog offering different mechanisms for inputting the color (such as a color wheel and individual R/G/B input widgets). At "Color name:", if I type #FF8000 then this will correctly change the color to orange.
However, in the "Setup Text Attributes" dialog and also in the saved Builder-format XML file, the value shows up as #ffff80800000.
Why is each byte duplicated?

If in the XML file, if I change the line
  <attribute name="foreground" value="#ffff80800000"/>
to
  <attribute name="foreground" value="#ff8000"/>
and load the changed file into Glade, the color shows up properly (orange as before).
