Steps to reproduce the issue

Go to Joomla backend >> Users >> Fields and Create a new Field (text, colorpicker or textarea) and add them to the registration form (with or without creating a group).

Expected result

text fields should only be disabled when the user select them to be disabled but only the editor field seems to be enabled.

Actual result

That's a permission setting.
You need to make sure the "Public" group has the "Edit Custom Field Value" set to "Allowed" (check "Permissions" tab of your custom field). Then visitors will be able to edit values in that field.

I'm closing this issue since it is a misconfiguration, not a bug.,

Confirmed... Silly me.

Shouldn't that be the default setting?

No, by default permissions have to be disabled, not enabled. It depends on the context if it public should be able to edit something, basically it would only be for registration fields and the contact formular where public should be allowed to edit the value. All other cases we expect at least a registered user or even higher rights.
