Infinite recursion when accessing Table background rectangle color #4419
Description
Description of bug / unexpected behavior
If I try to access the color of a highlighted Table cell (created using table.get_highlighted_cell()), I get a stack overflow error (code=3221225725). Looking at the trace, the code bounces between get_color() and get_fill_color().
Expected behavior
I expect the code (below) to print "#83C167" (GREEN)
How to reproduce the issue
Code for reproducing the problem
from manim import *
import sys
sys.setrecursionlimit(200) # So that we can see the trace
class Test(Scene):
def construct(self):
table = Table(
[["This", "is a"],["simple", "table"]]
)
rect = table.get_highlighted_cell((1,1), color=GREEN)
print(rect.color)
# Alternatively:
# print(rect.get_color())
# print(rect.get_fill_color())Logs
