Moving expression set position causes loss of connection to advanced color set

Description

I use a mixture of basic and advanced color sets for different expressions in a visualisation. If I change the position of a color set by moving up or down (by using the arrow buttons) the connection between expression and advanced color set is lost and the assignemt to color appears as NULL. After that it is difficult to find the correct color set because the pop up list only contains the colors but not the assignment to the according expression set. So one has to guess which color set belongs to what expression. The only way to see the connection is to go to the according edit window ("modify color set"). The display of the first color set rule would provide help for selection.

Thanks for the report. I think it would help if the combo dialog showed the name of the colorset, right? After all, you can rename a colorset to anything you like.

Unfortunately I'll have to postpone this for a later milestone.

Sorry I included two point in this ticket. The one thing is to show the name of colorset for easier selection,

but the main point is the loss of assignment to a colorset after moving in the list.

The OK button is out of function after moving the postition of an expression set because the assignment to a color set has gone (NULL, see attached screeshot). Therefore I would suggest to add a CANCEL-button for the case that the OK button is out of function (or a pop up message, for click on disabled OK button; see also  http://www.pathvisio.org/ticket/1124).
