Photo edit stroke colour picker does not work. Truenas, Nextcloud

Using Nextcloud on Truenas. The photo editor colour picker for stroke & shadow for all the tools (text, image, rectangle, pen etc etc) does not work. You can not click on anything.

For the colour picker the cursor changes to a cross when you hover over the colour picker and you can select a colour but on stroke & shadow the cursor does not change to a cross when you hover over the colour picker and you can not select anything.

I have tested with different browsers and on different computers with Windows and/or Linux.

We have the same problem. I found no solution in the forums or related issue in GitHub - nextcloud/server: ☁️ Nextcloud server, a safe home for all your data
Did you get to fix it?
Thank you.

I have the same problem too.

It was fixed with an update some time ago now. (for me. Can’t speak for other, but I’d assume so).

Photos 2.3.0
Nextcloud Hub 5 (27.0.2)

I googled your post.

Unfortunately, the problem still persists up to the latest version Nextcloud 30.03.

I think there was a fix some time ago, but with the next update it was back.

The photo editor is generally very useful and great, but the problem is annoying.

Hi,

I don’t know why i said that it was fixed because it never was. I must have made a mistake on a long day when i was tired. Or maybe it had been fixed but was then regressed after a further update to not working again.

Anyhow, i have found that you can actually remove the offending html layer that is in the wrong Z position.

I use the stylus browser addon with a script to remove this

.SfxPopper-Overlay {
	display: none;
}

and i widen the colour picker with

.gMTyoX {
	max-width: 750px;
}

You could also use an adblocker like uBlock to remove the blocking layer with the element zapper/picker

add in ublock
your-nextcloud-domain.com##.SfxPopper-Overlay

Same here, it’s pity, otherwise it’s excelent tool.
Nextcloud Hub 9 (30.0.4)

Just like to add, it is still not fixed in 30.0.6.

Still like to add, that 31.0.1 has the issue!
But color picking is working partially.
The error now relates to the pen, line, arrow function only.
Here you can open the color picker, but it will close as soon as you try to choose something.

Yea. It’s astounding to me that something that takes 15 minutes to fix just sits there for years.
