In TEdit, with gtk widgetset at least, it is possible to change TEdit color, and font properties, but not both at the same time.

With default font, background color can be changed at will, but if a font different from default is selected, or font style or font color is changed, the background color flips to default clWindow (=clWhite). This makes it impossible to change background color and have a good contrast at the same time.

Is this a known issue, a widgeset limitation or a bug?

Platform Linux, widgetset gtk1, recents svn trunk (rev 14232).
