Cannot change font color in TB 102.1.2

On the Mac, I have a basic account set up and it's set to compose in HTML. Yet, when I mark some text and try to change the font color, nothing happens...it stays the same color.

What to try?

Thanks

Close the color picker window before you click OK.

That has been reported before. You may want to file a bug at bugzilla dot mozilla dot org.

Thanks sfhowes!

It has been a while since I last used Thunderbird so I had forgotten that requirement. The change color dialog is, IMHO, a confusing implementation I wish they would fix (that is, update the color when you select it, not when you select the color AND exit the dialog).

Appreciate your reply!
