Bug#750555: zenity: Zenity Color-picker Has An Echo - 00C0C0 Becomes 0000C0C0C0C0

[Robert Pogson]

Package: zenity
Version: 3.12.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

I was testing zenity and came upon its color-picker. I gave it this command

$ zenity --color-selection --color="#00c0c0" 1> junk
$ cat junk
#0000c0c0c0c0

I was expecting just an echo of the input or the color-selection that I made
in the window but got each byte/pair of hex digits repeated usually. Occasionally
I get some random digits, but usually, it's this echoing behaviour. It doesn't
seem to matter whether I type digits in, click on the colours or use the
eye-dropper.

pogson at beast:~$ zenity --color-selection --color="#00c0c0"
#c0c000000451
pogson at beast:~$ zenity --color-selection --color="#00c0c0"
#e5e559592e2e
pogson at beast:~$ zenity --color-selection --color="#00c0c0"
#9b36b3b8b3b8
pogson at beast:~$ zenity --color-selection --color="#00c0c0"
#928ed150d150


It's still useful but adds an unnecessary layer of complexity to the data.

$ zenity --version
3.12.1
