BColorControl not redrawn when switching to and from 8-bit (256 color) mode

Description (last modified by jscipione)

BColorControl doesn't redraw itself when switching to or from 8-bit (256 color) mode. Perhaps the app server should tell all controls to redraw themselves when you switch modes.

Redrawing is not enough, as BColorControl is a complex BView with other controls inside. Basically the only way out is destroying it entirely and building an entirely new one. But this risks breaking stuff around it for example if used in a layouted window...

Everything is obviously redrawn properly, as you can see when switching to 32 bit all controls use the available colors :). So the bug is in the interface kit. Switching component and changing priority.

Replying to pulkomandy:

Not really. All it would have to do is update its cell size -- it does all the drawing itself, and the only other controls are not affected in palette mode AFAIK (even then they could be hidden/shown as needed).

Actually also other colorspaces don't issue a redraw. So switch between any from: CMAP8, 15,16 and 32bit modes..
