Checkerboard background color doesn't update

Steps to reproduce:

  • open Inkscape
  • File > Document properties
  • Check the option for the checkerboard background
  • Then select to use a color for the bg

What happened?

No change in color. It only updates when you haven't checked the checkerboard option first, or when you uncheck and recheck it.

What should have happened?

The background color should change right away.
