BUG(?) or Wishlist?

Get a rectangle. Press CTRL+E and color the object, save the new color. The rectangle is now linked to the color.
Use the contour tool. Enable "Inset Path option". Resize the rectangle. The link to the color is gone after resizing - this is very annoying.

No I can't repeat what you get there, my rectangle remains coloured!

Yes the colour remans Peter, it's the link to the parent (the one you just named) that is lost.

Very odd, the link to the parent colour was lost but now it is back.

I made a second rectangle and applied the named colour followed by applying an outer contour with inset path. I did not resize this rectangle. Dragged and dropped the named colour to the Color Editor and now both rectangles respond to the change to the colour.

Sorry I did not name a colour. Misread the topic!
