Converting to web_color gives invalid color like #ffff

[DenVdmj]

When I convert to web_color from root menu (info.html) I get invalid color like „#ffff“:

Next, I choose „white“:

I guess that this code („color_helper_insert.py“, line 42):

    if convert == "name":
        try:
            if len(target_color) > 7:
                target_color = target_color[:-2]
            self.web_color = csscolors.hex2name(target_color)
        except:
            pass
        self.force_alpha = True

can be replaced by the following code:

    if convert == "name":
            self.web_color = csscolors.hex2name(target_color)

Yes at some point a bug was introduced, but the solution is actually to set self.force_alpha to False. We don't want to remove the alpha stripping.

We don't want to remove the alpha stripping.

Ok. And what web color name rgba(0,0,0,.5)? Black80?

? I think you are misunderstanding what the code is doing. When I pass around a color, I pass it around with the alpha. When we output the color name, we no longer need the alpha, so we strip it out.

Hmm.. Sorry, you're right :)
