Pop-up box for choosing colors appears underneath the Preferences window

Thanks for filing an issue! Please answer the questions below so I can help you.

• iTerm2 version:3.0.13
• OS version: Mac OS X 10.11.6
• Attach ~/Library/Preferences/com.googlecode.iterm2.plist here (drag-drop from finder into this window)
• Attach a debug log, if possible. Instructions at https://iterm2.com/debuglog
• Are you reporting a performance issue or a hang? Please attach a sample. Instructions at https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/wikis/HowToSample
• Are you reporting a crash? Please attach the crash log. Instructions at https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/wikis/crash-logs

Detailed steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Start iTerm2, open up the preferences.
2. Click on Advanced tab, edit the Triggers.
3. Attempt to change the Text or Background colors under the parameters column. The color wheel window appears underneath making it inaccessible.

What happened: The color wheel window should appear above the Preference window, instead, it appears underneath and is obscured making it rather useless.

What should have happened: The color window window should have appeared above the Preference window, providing access to the features within.

I believe this happens when you have a native fullscreen window because we're showing a popover from a modally presented sheet on a panel, which ISTR is not allowed.

I should change the UI of the prefs panel to not modally present sheets. It's not easy to do because the triggers sheet is actually bigger than the Edit Current Session panel.

For now I suggest disabling the custom colorpicker by pressing this button:

Hi George,

Yes, you are correct. I was using Term2 in full-screen mode. When exited that mode, things worked properly. I hadn’t considered that. If I leave full-screen mode, I can make the changes as desired.

Ah the joys of using a 6yr old 13” MacBook Pro…

The reply and suggestion are much appreciated.

Cheers,

Chuck
