Text Color is erroneously exposed in PCB Properties Panel; can create un-parseable files
PCB will not load and error message appears when attempting to re-open PCB after closing.
To create issue:
- Open any PCB
- Right Mouse click any "Ref" or "Value"
- Change color in LHS Properties Panel
- NOTE: color does not change
- Close Kicad PCB
- Reopen Kicad PCB
A warning message about the color appears but no PCB
Tested with a Personal color scheme (in both OS's), Windows 11 & my below Linux, both "Ref" & "Value" only, both Kicad 8.0.4-rc2 & below version of 8.99
