Description:
The colours of application fonts set in the General Options section of the Options dialog are always reset to black. The font type and size are used correctly.

How to repeat:
1. Start the MySQL Query Browser.
2. Open the Options dialog (Tools-->Options... menu)
3. Select the General Options icon in the list
4. Click on one of the Choose... buttons in the Application Fonts section to open the Fonts dialog.
5. Select a non-black colour from the color dropdown list.
6. Click OK to close the Fonts dialog.
7. Click on one of the Choose... buttons in the Application Fonts section to open the Fonts dialog.
8. Check what colour is selected in the colour dropdown list; it should be the same colour chosen in step 5.

Suggested fix:
Use the colour.

Verified with 1.1.9 version.

Since colors are widely used in the application to show certain states or do syntax highlighting there is no meaning in specifying an explicit font color. In many cases this color would not be used at all. That it was allowed to select a color in the font picker dialog was an oversight by us. It is now no longer possible.

Note: For the font styles things are very similar, hence selecting a certain font style has no effect. Unfortunately, the style selection cannot be removed from the font dialog.
