While trying to draw a text (DRAWING_TEXT) using s_UseTool, FontBackColor input is ignored for AddAsUserDrawnDrawing = 1. Please advice.

There definitely could not be an issue because that variable is used by this study:
scsf_SymbolDisplay

scsf_SymbolDisplay uses function sc.AddAndManageSingleTextUserDrawnDrawingForStudy for adding user drawn text.

The problem referred to is occurring when using s_UseTool structure and function sc.UseTool.

The source code for sc.AddAndManageSingleTextUserDrawnDrawingForStudy is in the SierraChart.h file.

It also uses sc.UseTool.

There definitely is not a problem here.
