KB42490: When an attribute selector, targeting a grid, is set to "All" and the attribute on the grid is used as a selector, the background format color of the attribute header changes in MicroStrategy Web

SYMPTOM:
In Strategy Web 9.x and 10.x, after selecting an attribute on a grid used as a selector to target itself, and manipulating an element selector switching it to "All", changes the background color of the attribute header in the grid from its original color.
Original Color: Yellow
 

 
After manipulating the selector: Blue

 
 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

•  On a dashboard, add a grid with an attribute and metric.
• Also, add an attribute selector that targets the grid, as shown below:

• Note: Enable "Show option for All" option for the attribute selector.
  
• To make the attributes on the grid act as selectors as well, right-click on the attribute on the grid and "Select Targets" to target itself, as shown below: 
  

• In Editable Mode, format the background color for the attribute header  on the grid, as shown below:.
  

• Click on one of the attributes elements on the grid to filter the data, as shown below:
  

• Select "All" in the attribute element selector on top of the grid and the color of the attribute header will change, as shown below:
  

• Note: The behavior is consistent with all of the view modes.
  

CAUSE:
The 'All' option in a grid is it's attribute header cell. When a selector targets a grid with the 'All' option, the attribute header cell is the one being targeted. This issue occurs because the color of the selection highlight is overriding the color of the attribute header after it is set back to All.
 
ACTION:
Strategy will continue to investigate and post updates as soon as they are available.
 
WORKAROUND:
The following workaround exists for Flash mode.

• In Properties and Formatting for the grid, adjust the "Selection Color" for the body of the grid container to the same color that was set for the background of the attribute header, as shown below:
  

• Note: This action is highlighted in tech note KB46376: Grid as a selector does not retain the custom selection color in Flash Mode in MicroStrategy Web 9.4.1.
  

The background color of the attribute header will now stay the same color after "All" is selected from the selector.
Note: The issue will still exist in Presentation/Editable and Interactive Modes.
