Aloha, Jim:

Yep, you hit on that bug very nicely, you have exactly
 reproduced the problem we had for some time.

I'm not sure when it went away... no one had any solutions...I just 
lived with it. finally, I can't remember which it was... either an 
upgrade to a new version of Rev And/Or and upgrade to the OS.  I think 
it was a combination of both, because when I upgraded to 3.0  the 
problem did not go away, but when I upgraded to Leopard the problem 
*did* go away. But if you reverted back to 2.9, it recurred.

But don't quote me on that, I'm terrible about doing a proper QA 
analysis when hitting these bugs in Rev. They are rarely show stoppers. 
I just closed the inspector each time I wanted to do another color setting.
