Of course there is a colour called "None". It means the item has no colour, i.e. is 100% transpararent. Alos, i cannot confirm that the colour is missing in the PP. It's not available in the Line Styles, though.

Well, in PP color appears for me now, too, apparently in was added after saving .sla file (I talked about freshly installed Scribus). But does it appear for you as none? On attached screenshot you can see that it looks more like brown. Btw, its name stored in Russian.

One more detail: in prefs default color for text frame is same none/brown. But text frames are creating with no colors (see screenshot http://bugs.scribus.net/file_download.php?file_id=4870&type=bug).

Afair, I used this brown color for one of my projects, but it wasn't saved as default, "new color" name was used.


Can this occurs due to several Scribus versions installed? I have 1.3.7, 1.3.8svn and 1.5.0.

i also have had that the same brown color showing up.

i could not find out how it got in, nor i know how it got away.

my 2c to confirm that the problem is real and is not related to subeditor having defined that brown! :-)

I can confirm that this issue occurs due to either having several versions of Scribus installed, or changing the lauguage, or both.

Normally, my selected language is German. Currently, when I switch to English, there is one colour left which is called "Keine" (=none) and has a brown-tone as visible in the screenshot. In the past, I also have had a brown colour called "Aucune" (=none) which was a leftover from French language.

However, I don't know exactly the steps to reproduce. If someone wanna try to, I recommend following these steps:

- Uninstall all versions of scribus, and also delete the settings folder.
- Install Scribus 1.3.7, set language to German.
- Work with it.
- Switch language to English (GB) and look at the colour palette. Is there a brown colour left, called "Keine" (from German "none")? If not, the problem seems to occur due to having more than one version installed. Then do the next steps:

- Change language to German again.
- Install Scribus 1.3.8svn, set language to German.
- Work with the two versions alternately. Change languages and keep a lid on the PP colour palette. Once upon a time, there will be a brown colour named "none" in a foreign language.

Hope this helps.

i've found something quite interesting: the color create is r150g100b50 if you take the values from 0 to 255... looks like a counter wrongly set...

mmmh...

and one interesting thing: if you open the .sla attached by subeditor to 0009575 , the none color will spread to the scribus settings and will be used as none by all future files...

Aaaa, panic, Scribus will spread itself and its brown color all over the world!
Sad joke...

Don't know if it's related or if I need to open a new bug but in 1.5svn, if you create a new document, it comes with no color. And that brown is the color used if you create a text frame.

If you save that document and open it in a text editor, you'll find a line:
<COLOR NAME="Black" RGB="#966432" Spot="0" Register="0"/>
