Description

Description

When drawing I would like the pen to remember the last color I used and default to that.

Current Behavior

The pen has reset to the default red color

Expected Behavior

I expect the pen to default to the last color used so I don't need to change it every time.

This is the behavior of the Windows version of ZoomIt and I have come to really appreciate it maintaining my pen color.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Start drawing in any mode
  2. Change the pen color to a different color (I use g)
  3. Stop the drawing session
  4. Start a new drawing session
Product Version

12.21.0

macOS Version

Mahoe 26.6.2

Research direction

Start by tracing the drawing-session setup and the code that handles changing the pen color. Reproduce the issue using the listed steps, then identify where the selected color is reset between sessions. Done means a newly started drawing session uses the last selected color, including after stopping and starting again.
