Address bar is black (but not set like that in settings...)

FCXE public rel 550.
For some reason, my address bar's background color is black.
It is set to the default in settings (vertical gradient from dark blue to lighter blue).
If I go in settings, do as if I was going to change the address bar background color (either start or end) but then click outside the color selector instead of selecting a color, and then click OK to close the settings window, it comes back to normal (vertical gradient from dark blue to lighter blue). But if I close FCXE and reopen it, it's black again.
For reference, in FreeCommander.ini, the values for the address bar colors are
But they don't change if I do the steps noted above, so I think it's a bug and not a config issue.
It may be related to the Dual / single pane setting (View menu - Dual/one panel). I was using single pane, and I wanted to see if it happened in dual pane mode too, so I switched to dual pane mode. The problem did not happen. And now, even going back to single pane mode, I can't seem to repro the issue anymore. So it's not clear what initially caused it, but toggling the single / dual pane mode seemed to affect it.
Argh, I hate it when I report hard-to-repro issues like that (I'm a developer myself and I hate bugs like that
) Anyways I hope I've given you enough info to at least get an idea as to what causes the problem.
