Problems with the palette on the Mac

If I create a form and set the default WindowText color in the palette for the form to red and then add a Label to the form, I would expect that the Label inherit the red color from the form. This actually works on the Windows and Linux version, but does not work for the Mac version. For the Mac, the label remains black. However if I select the label and look at it WindowText color in it's palette, it shows it to be red. The only way to get the label to actually display red, however, is to explicitly override the palette color for the label. Is this a known bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks
