Good morning,
Thousands of times I have changed colours in charts.
Suddenly today, the bar with the two colour editors disappears as soon as I click on a segment or column in a chart. It is replaced by another toolbar that is unusable to me.
I have searched for a long time, ‘repaired’ SoftMaker and reinstalled it completely, but nothing helps.
It may well be that it is due to a small setting or something I have done myself. It seems like something simple.
How can I change colours in charts again?
No longer able to change colours in charts
Re: No longer able to change colours in charts
Thank you for reporting the issue.
We’re currently unable to reproduce the problem, as we’re able to change the chart color without any difficulty. Could you please share a screenshot of the issue so we can investigate it further?
To change the color in the chart, right-click on the bar and select "Series Properties". Then go to the "Format tab" and, under the "Fill" section, choose your desired color.

This is complete Spanish to me (I don't speak Spanish). Please explain.

I'll place 2 screenshots: 1. Before and 2. After clicking on one of the colour fields.
In 2., after clicking on a colour section, the toolbar where the arrow points in 1. is gone.

Re: No longer able to change colours in charts
Thank you for sharing the screenshots.
Here’s what we observed:
Screenshot 1: The cursor is positioned on the sheet outside the chart. That’s why the formatting toolbar is visible—it applies to the sheet, not the chart.
Screenshot 2: The cursor is placed directly on the pie chart. As a result, the sheet formatting toolbar is not displayed.
If you would like to change the color of a slice in the pie chart, please follow these simple steps:
1. Select the desired slice of the pie chart.
2. Right-click on the selected slice.
3. From the “Chart fill color” dropdown menu, choose your preferred color.
Please check the below screen recording for your reference.
