Hi Jim,
I've not seen that one before - I suspect that they are two separate
problems. If you can send me the artworks file one so I can try to
re-produce that one.
I will have a look at the other also.
Regards
Richard

Subject: [impression-x] bug with named colours (maybe just tints)
Peculiar thing in Impression-X 5.750 Dev (2014-nov-06), at least on
Armini 5.20:
I have a blank frame with a named colour as its background. It is a
17% tint of greenA (itself a named colour), in case that is relevant.
I copy the blank frame and paste copies of it at two places on the
same page. Both of these copies appear with GREY background instead
of green. (The original frame is still green.)
Click in one of the rogue frames. Go to the Alter Frame dialogue,
View. It might be relevant that the box showing the underlying colour
on which the tint is based has gone blank. From the colour menu
re-apply my named colour, and all seems well.
Close the document. Upon reload, the frames are all still tint green,
so that's good.
But why does it go grey in the Copy procedure?
Also I have sometimes, upon reloading a document, seen a tint
background now appear as grey.
Even more bizarre, I have a separate Impression file (first made years
ago) containing an Artworks graphic with this green tint; when I
copy-and-paste it into a new document in Impression-X the graphic goes
a blushing shade of magenta!
Export the graphic back to Artworks, and it appears there in correct
green. Drop it from Artworks into an Impression-X frame and it's
magenta again.
I ran Publisher+ 5.13 to test: all of these files display correctly
there.
