Can't get a Black 1pt or 2pt border around a rectangle. (1 Viewer)

[Mike Krailo]

This is a strange problem that I just ran into. I have M365 and as you can see in the pic, there are two blue rectangles. The top one has a 2pt black border property but it is not black at all! The bottom one is 3pt black border and it shows black color just fine. Is this a new bug? I attached the database with single form for others to look at on their system to see if it's doing the same thing.

Have noticed this before. If you use a palette colour rather than a theme colour, I think you will find that it works as expected. I have no idea why.
EDIT -forgot to say that I think you will have to use something other than black (#000000).
Try #000010 or even #000001

Confirm your findings.
Also created my own test database with the same result.
However if you change the back colour to white or use raised/sunken as special effect instead of flat, it then works correctly

EDIT: It didn't work correctly for me using a palette colour

I edited my post - probably after you posted. It did work with red from the pallette, but not black.

Isladogs, it did work for me using palette color #000010 as Micron suggested. So this is just a bug to be aware of I guess. It worked with #000001 as well which is as close to black as your going to get.
