Summary0017735: Cannot delete gradient color stops
DescriptionI am testing on the 1.7.2 appimage, so I cannot verify if this is an appimage issue or a 1.7.2 issue generally on Linux Mint.

If I make an object and give it a gradient fill or apply a gradient mask, I can create additional color stops in the gradient by clicking on the gradient bar. I can select each color stop by clicking on them. However, right clicking does nothing. Because of this, I cannot get to the "delete color stop" menu.

There's also no way I can find to reset the gradient, so if I add an unwanted color stop there's no way to get rid of it at all, short drastic measures like using "copy item properties" to copy over a fill from another object.
Steps To Reproduce- Create an object
- Apply either a mask or fill to that object with a gradient; add at least 1 additional color stop
- Attempt to right click on the color stop to access the delete stop menu

usually you should be able to remove gradient stops by pulling them away from the definition field for the gradient. with scribus 1.7.2 on mac os it works – doesn't this work with the appimage version?

Thanks utnik - clicking and dragging them off the definition field does work. I'd never known that was an option and had always used the right click > remove stop menu.
