Comment 10 for bug 1707899

Not sure if the last email was directed to me or if I was simply CC'd on it... In any event I am an infrequent user of Inkscape and only use the stable versions rather than the in-progress builds. Hopefully Brynn can help you out. Thanks for looking into it, anyway.

Title:
  Bezier Curve does not retain colour used when Triangle In shape is
  used

Status in Inkscape:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm using Inkscape 0.92.1 r15371 on Windows 10, and want to draw some
  Bezier curves using any of the Modes and TRIANGLE IN set in the Shape
  dropdown. I set the Fill colour to yellow and Stroke to none, then
  draw. The completed path immediately reverts to black in colour. Note
  that the Fill colour at top right of screen is what I want but the
  Fill colour at bottom left shows Black. So, I click on a colour swatch
  along the bottom line and Fill colour changes. Draw the path and
  presto, it's back to Black again. This happens with ANY of the Modes
  as long as I am using the TRIANGLE IN in the Shape dropdown. >BUT< if
  I then change the Shape to NONE all works as it should and I am able
  to retain the colour I select for next path.

  This cannot be "normal" for the programme. Why when using TRIANGLE IN
  would I be forced to draw paths in BLACK only?

  "Last Used Style" under preferences does not help. It shows the colour
  I want, but this doesn't work. "Take From Selection" changes the
  colour in the Preferences box for the tool but, again, as soon as I
  draw with it the colour is set to Black.

  In Inkscapeforum.com it has been explained to me: "When you use the
  triangle in/out option, what happens is that it automatically applies
  the Powerstroke LPE to the path (with version 0.92 and 0.92.1, but
  with 0.91, it applied Pattern Along Path LPE - not sure how it worked
  in earlier versions, maybe PAP extension was applied). Once it's a
  powerstroke (or pap), it's no longer a stroked path. Instead, it acts
  like a closed path with a fill and no stroke."
