'halo mode' colour bug

if i turn off ‘Halo’ in the material buttons with ‘star’ turned on and turn ‘halo’ back on the colour turns white. I tried this with a clean scene with 2.23 2.25 2.27 2.28a and c and got the same problem.
can someone else test this for me and i’ll submit a bug report.
i’m using winxp

Just tested with 2.26, it turns white just as you say. How odd.
