The Jucer’s colour picker does not allow me to enter values withe keyboard for the red, green… values. Keystrokes are ignored.  
Using the mouse to pick colors works like it should.  
To double check i downloaded the Juce 1.53 from sourceforge and it has the same issue.  
I’m running Snow Leopard (10.6.7).  
Jules could you have a look, we had an similar issue before when it was dismissing the color picker whenever you stroked a key. Now it just ignores it.

What kind of window are you using to display it? Does the colour picker in the juce demo work?

I’m working with the Jucer to create components. The colour picker in the Jucer itself is not working. Just try to change the background color in the graphics tab.

I see in your code you add this color picker as a custom component to a PopupMenu.

Oh, I see. Ok, I’ll take a look at it when I have chance.
