While tagging glyphs in a font I sometimes happen to get two different colours displayed at the same time, as visible in the sample...
What is the reason for this? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for some advice!

Best, Wolfgang

Tagging a glyph whilst in the glyph edit panel and tagging a glyph from the overview panel seem to use different slots. So you can double tag a glyph. I don't know if this is a bug or a 'feature', I suppose it might be useful in some circumstances. It doesn't really cause any problems if you are aware of what is happening.

Hello Paul,

Yes, It is a double Tag, sure in some circumstances it is good, but i think when No tag clicked from inside panel or right click list, all tags should be removed, not only one.

Thanks

Yes if a glyph has two tags then they have to be removed separately which is a bit more work than it should be. Oh well ...
