I opened the wrench menu, clicked “Add Staff Color” and opened it again shortly after that:
As you can see, the post turns yellow, but the button still says “Add Staff Color”.
When I reload the topic, the yellow color disappears:
Same thing applies when trying to “Remove Staff Color” from posts.
Moderators don’t suffer from this issue, apparently.

Experimentation indicates that it’s only TL4’s with this issue. Mod-only, Admin-only and Mod+Admin don’t.

I don’t know that TL4 should even have this function, it is called “staff color” for a reason.

I agree, I think the bug here is that we are allowing non-staff to set staff colors.

Sent a fix for “text not changing for button when adding staff color” issue (this was affecting all users: TL4, Mod-only, Admin-only and Mod+Admin).

Okay, now TL4 user will not be able to see the “Add Staff Color” button 🐛
