GavBBI 1 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Hey, When applying a different text colour to content inside a note, Evernote doesn't remember the colour change when viewing a different note and then visiting the existing note. I've tried uninstalling the app and even changing the App store version with the direct download version and it makes no difference. It's quite frustrating as I use Evernote for to do lists and once a job is complete I change the colour colour to green, but this bug wont allow me to do this completely. Another point about this bug is that it's sporadic, for example, if I change the text colour on 10 lines of text, the 3rd and 9th line may be the original text colour if I revisit it at a later date. Is anyone else experiencing this or can they replicate this?Specs Version 7.6 (457299 App Store) Editor: 59.0.7031 (d523909) Mac OS 10.14 Using Dark Mode 1 Link to comment
kmkalanetra 0 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I am having the exact same issue and I use the note the same way you do. If you find a solution, please post it. Thank you, Karen Link to comment

Are you able to send me detailed steps to reproduce, or try installing the beta to see if the issue persists? Thanks! Link to comment
willhuntoon 0 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Hello, I installed the beta and am still having the exact same issue. This would be great to solve, it is very frustrating not having the formatting saved Link to comment
Ex Employees Jay-Bob 127 Posted December 11, 2018 Ex Employees Share Posted December 11, 2018 Hi there, we've been unable to reproduce this in our testing so far. Do you by chance have detailed steps you're taking or a screen recording showing the issue in action? Link to comment
redeye 9 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Since using dark mode I've notice this too. Not sure if it is dark mode itself or a bug in general with the updated version. Anyway, I found the font color change sticks if I select the offending text block and apply 'simplify formatting'. That returns it back to white. I then change the color again and found that it stays. It could be something to do with text that has been pasted in from external sources having certain ascii codes in it. Link to comment
scurtis7 0 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I had the same issue when I upgraded the OS on my Mac and switched to Dark Mode. The 'simplify formatting' solution mentioned above by @redeye fixed it for me as well. Link to comment
ericpena 0 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I am experiencing the same issue. I am also in Dark Mode. Has anyone found a fix since? If I learn anything new, I'll post it. Thanks, Eric Link to comment
bmoen 2 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 @Nick L., @Jay-Bob, Here are steps to reproduce: Create a note with two lines of text Open the color picker (cmd-shift-c) and color both lines of text in a particular color Select both lines of text and copy Create a second note and paste in the lines Select one line of text and using the color picker change it to a different color Switch to a different note, then switch back to the note in which the color change was made. The color will be reverted to the previous color. Attached is a screen recording of the issue occurring in Evernote 7.13, Mac OS 10.14.6, with dark mode enabled. 1 1 Link to comment
Ex Employees Jay-Bob 127 Posted November 11, 2019 Ex Employees Share Posted November 11, 2019 Thanks for reporting this, @bmoen, I see exactly what you mean in the current Evernote for Mac app. As it happens, our editor engineers are hard at work developing a new editor that should be available later this year. I've already tested the issue you're reporting there, and have ensured that this problem is no longer occurring on the new editor that is currently in beta on our new version of Evernote Web if you'd like to give it a try there. I don't have an estimate for when to expect the new editor to be available on all other Evernote applications including Evernote for Mac where you're experiencing this issue, but please keep updating so you always have the latest fixes when they are released. The article linked above will also have more details about the new editor as they become available. Link to comment
nogills 0 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 @Jay-Bob - just wanted to also let you know that I am having the exact same problem. It is very very frustrating as I use colors to mark projects done/in progress/needs reviewing etc. MacOS Mojave 10.14.6 Evernote 7.13 Dark Mode Link to comment
Ryq G 27 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I got it to work by using shift-cmd-v. Look in the edit menu for "Paste and Match Style" . I never would have thought of it because it CHANGES the style from White on Black to Black on White. I shall have to change the meaning of the word "Match" in the dictionary. It's been driving me crazy--and that is a pretty long drive! Link to comment
dognillah 1 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 @Jay-Bob I am still seeing this issue frequently. My program is up to date. (I can override this bug if I paste and match style as @Ryq G mentioned) Mac, Dark Mode, some font color changes are temporary Link to comment
kmd2@interven.com 0 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Same issue. Evernote for Mac 7.14. Catalina. Dark Mode. Link to comment
JHieminga 0 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Same problem for me. Also on Dark mode with Evernote for Mac 7.14 with Catalina. I often copy/paste bits from e-mails and somehow these then show as dark text on a dark background and I cannot get the change to white text to stick. I'll see if the Paste and Match style option works, but I have a feeling that this will also make me lose my formatting from the e-mails. Link to comment
