Visual demonstration of the issue.

SUMMARY:
Cannot open color picker when annotating an image

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

  1. Open Gwenview
  2. Open any image
  3. Click on "Show Editing Tools" → "Annotate"
  4. Select any annotation tool (rectangle, text, pencil, etc.) from the left toolbar
  5. Click on the color preview square in the top-left of the Annotate window

OBSERVED RESULT:
Clicking on the color square does nothing.
No color picker opens, no menu or palette appears.
It's not possible to change the color.
There is no way to access the "three-dot" button because the initial color selection UI does not respond.

EXPECTED RESULT:
Clicking on the color square should open a color palette or color picker dialog, allowing the user to choose a color.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
I am attaching a video that shows the issue.
This bug makes annotation tools unusable if a color change is needed.
I'm using the Flatpak version of Gwenview that comes by default with KDE Neon, by the way.
