iOS 18 Photos Text Color Issue

This is a new ios 18 issue (not resolved by minor .0.1 update). Just last week I could add text boxes through the markup feature in Photos, then edit, move, and change the color of the text. I updated to 18 and that doesn't work anymore. I've seen two places where one can change the color, but it doesn't take. You can select a new color, then you X out of the box and it does not change. This is clearly an iOS 18 glitch. It would be great to have it fixed. I sometimes label photos and need a brighter text color to read well on the background.

I have figured out how you what you need to do in order to change the color for text, shapes.

When you pick the color you want to use there will be a circle that has the colors in it. Hold down on the circle for a second and the outer ring will disappear. Once it does the color you choose will be used.
