Hi JP,

With the pad editor dialog in 6673 (i have looked at the changelogs
for 6674 and 6675 and can't see any changes to this) The new fields
you have added behave differently to the trapezoidal fields, mainly
that the text is set to disabled (or something) colour as well with
the corner radius part of the dialog. Can this be changed to match the
trapezoidal fields, as on OSX the only thing visible without tilting
my laptop screen well off axis is the primary text box which looks a
bit odd as can be seen in the attached image

thanks

Simon
