Describe the bug
When using the color input with hash (hex color) everything works fine. However if I adding a hex value without hash (just digits) to the input and press enter the color preview does not update but the color is applied to the element on the page (but after reload element has default color).

Thanks for reporting this, @TanyaKulikovskaya.
The issue with Color input with no hash does not update color picker appears to be a race condition or state management timing problem. This typically happens when component lifecycle events and DOM modifications overlap, creating an inconsistent state.
What to try:
- Add a setTimeout wrapper to ensure the DOM has settled:
setTimeout(() => {
// your operation here
}, 0);
-
Check initialization order β make sure components are fully loaded before you interact with them
-
Use the editor's event system β listen to completion events:
editor.on('component:mount', (component) => {
// safe to interact with component here
});
Recommended next steps:
- Test with the latest GrapesJS version if you haven't
- Provide a minimal reproducible example (CodeSandbox) β this helps the team identify the root cause faster
- Include GrapesJS version, browser, and console errors in your report
