    This post is for the Adobe InDesign team. Prior to CS6 you could double click the T in the Character Color section when building a style, and it would bring up the add color dialog. All of that still works, but since CS6 you won't see the new color you added in the list of colors.

    When you click Ok after adding the color and scroll down in the Character Color section of the New Paragraph Style dialog — the color doesn't appear in the list.
    To make it appear you have to click any other item in the style: for example click Bullets & Numbering or OpenType features, then click back on Character Color and the new color will show up.

    Can you fix this bug so that the new color that is added shows up right away (like it did prior to CS6)? This feature got this bug in that version, but worked beautifully and seamlessly in CS5 and earlier.

    See attached screen shots.

    This has been a bug for quite some time. I think the last version where it worked properly might have been InDesign CS6.
    Each version of Creative Cloud software seems to have more bugs than the last. Apparently none of the money Adobe rakes in from CC subscriptions is put back into development or bug fixes.
    Time to go back to (gulp!) QuarkXPress?!
