Does: 0) In any UML diagram, right click on an element to bring up context menu.

Note that this is using Build 200808111757
may be color chooser was changed, don't see color name text field in latest build.
Just installed Build 200808111757. The issue is still present in this build.
Uh... disregard that last comment. Evidently, the beta updates are not as consistent as I had assumed (I should've checked the build release BEFORE reinstalling). Duh!
Does this mean that the issue is no longer valid?
@tspiva@netbeans.org: The issue is still valid. My point was that I had re-installed the IDE, only to realize that the release date was the same release date I had previously installed. So, the reinstall was moot. The bug--however--is still reproducible (at least with the current build, 200808111757).
The color chooser was changed and no longer has a name field. See attached screenshot.

This is not fixed as of the official 6.5 release. Does: 0) In any UML diagram, right click on an element to bring up context menu. Fonts & Colors should be a menu item. 1) From the Fonts & Colors menu, choose Background 2) In the Color Chooser Dialog, edit the Color Name text field 3) Note that an edit in this field does not affect the color, nor any of the RGB values Should: Editing the Color Name field should affect the color in the Color Chooser Dialog ---------------- See the attached PNG for the dialog and UI element in question. The Color Chooser Dialog, as originally identified, is still available contrary to the comment made by gvasick@netbeans.org dated Tue Oct 14 18:45:29 +0000 2008 (I'm not sure if NetBeans is using some Gnome libs for handling color-picking, but this might be where the issues lies if the Color Chooser Dialog was indeed changed). However, what is perhaps more concerning to me is that this bug was closed as FIXED, yet I never received notification of the status change until receiving a summary email from qa@netbeans.org entitled "Thanks for your contribution to NetBeans 6.5 release" which indicated the fixed nature of all previously submitted (and fixed) bugs. That's obviously not a good policy to follow, and my guess is that the push to an RC for 6.5 suggested some short-cuts. Understandable given the context, but still not a good policy. In any case, I'm here to help, so let me know if there's something more I can provide by way of steps to repro the issue or additional screen dumps. rich

since there was statement about existence of ""color name" and in later builds we got no "color name" it looks reasonable to close as fixed because of changes in this area. but now it seems to be platform specific issue. what jdk do you use?

I can reproduce on ubuntu, but looks like a java issue, also reproducible with color name in color dialog in gui builder. Need to find if corresponding java issue is filed.
