Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Add a RTE component to your application.
2. Launch Program.
3. Type some words: "This is a special test."
4. Highlight "special". Choose Red #FF0000 from the color picker. Notice word turns red.
5. Highlight "test". Choose Red #FF0000 from the color picker. Notice word DOES NOT turn red.

I have fixed this bug and included the classes as attachments.

Workaround (if any):
The class needs to be modified slightly and then recompiled or used in a different namespace.
See attached for notes.

There are two changes:

ColorPicker.as
change one line in function "set selectedIndex(value:int):void"

// CRUZ: Replaced commented section with && 1 because you need to update the color every time
// Otherwise if you select one word in the RTE and choose red, and then select
// another word and choose red again, then the text color is not updated.

FROM:
if ((selectedIndex != -1 || !isNaN(selectedColor)) && value != selectedIndex)

TO:
if ((selectedIndex != -1 || !isNaN(selectedColor)) && 1)// value != selectedIndex)

SwatchPanel.as
change one line in function "swatches_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void"

// CRUZ: Replaced commented section with 1 because you need to update the color every time
// Otherwise if you select one word in the RTE and choose red, and then select
// another word and choose red again, then the text color is not updated.

FROM:
if (ColorPicker(owner).selectedIndex != selectedIndex)

TO:
if (1)//ColorPicker(owner).selectedIndex != selectedIndex)
