If you insert a component into a design it will take on a colour. If you then copy and paste it into your design again it will have the same colour as the original. If you colour cycle one of those components it will change colour and the rest won't, but the browser pane list of all the identical components will show that they should all be the same new colour. If you're really desperate to have them the same colour you can then colour cycle the next one until they all match, but the random colour cycling may mean you try 20 times before coming back to the colour you want. Selecting all your copies and colour cycling them should change them all, but only the one you first click changes. Even worse, colour cycling seems to be immune to the Undo function. This gets very old if you have a lot of copies of that component.
If you select multiple components and choose colour cycling, they should all be changed to the same colour.
The colour stripe in the browser should always match that of the part in the main window.
We should be able to choose the colour directly.
We should be able to undo colour cycling changes.
Until this is fixed, if you want to change the colour of a component you've just inserted, doing it before you make any copies will save a lot of pain.
