Can no longer change text color in markup in Photos app on iPhone

This is a new ios 18 issue (not resolved by minor .0.1 update). Just last week I could add text boxes through the markup feature in Photos, then edit, move, and change the color of the text. I updated to 18 and that doesn't work anymore. I've seen two places where one can change the color, but it doesn't take. You can select a new color, then you X out of the box and it does not change. This is clearly an iOS 18 glitch. It would be great to have it fixed. I sometimes label photos and need a brighter text color to read well on the background.

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 18

When I press the color dot it won’t stay open long enough for me to select the color! This is happened after 18.1 Glitch?!

Try “Photo Vault”, icon has a file folder with a key on it, not only can it securely save your photos and videos with a separate password protection or PIN number, you can do editing and markup inside the app in their built in editor, organize stuff into folders, transfer files over the WiFi to a computer through a browser on your computer, etc… there’s a free version with ads, ad free is a few bucks one time, then premium with cloud storage and a bunch of extra features is a monthly fee.
