Description narcís calvet 2014-01-09 11:14:16 EST

Setting font color to black in a shape series doesn't work. It works fine with other colors. Code to reproduce:

uses TeeShape;

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var
  Series1: TChartShape;
begin
  Series1:=TChartShape.Create(Self);
  Series1.FillSampleValues();
  Series1.Text.Text:='Hello World!';
  Series1.Font.Color:=clRed; //This works.
  Series1.Font.Color:=clBlack; //This doesn't work.
  Chart1.AddSeries(Series1);
end;

Fixed.
When Shape font color is the same as Shape background color, font color is changed to avoid text to be invisible.
This check was broken due to a "with" alias effect. 
The fix has been to remove the "with".
