Description Frederic Van Assche 2006-11-23 02:35:42 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
OS:                Linux

When running under XGL, the KDE eye-dropper tool always grabs a plain blue color, no matter where you click.

This was reported as bug #130216 already, but closed because the submitter didn't mention anything about XGL.
Comment 1 Dean Landry 2007-11-15 21:40:39 UTC
I have this same symptom.  I've noticed that it is only grabbing the Blue value of a given color.  So if I select white, I get "0000FF".  If I select Black, I get "000000".  This is KDE from OpenSuse 10.3 with Compiz running.

Here is information on my setup:
  KDE version:  3.5.7 "release 72.2" 
  System:  Linux
  Release:  2.6.22.12-0.1-default
  Machine:  i686
Comment 4 Simon van der Sluis 2007-11-19 09:59:20 UTC
I had the same symptoms as Dean Landry (comment 1).

I can also confirm it's something to do with xgl, I've just un-installed xserver-xgl (Ubunty Gutsy) and color picker is now correctly picking all color components.

Also not even when compiz was not running, but xgl was the problem occurred.

xserver-xgl version 1:1.1.99.1.~git20070727-0ubuntu3
kde-base 4:3.5.8-0ubuntu2
color-picker v0.1 kde 3.5.8

I can confirm that this happens on SLED 10 SP1 with KDE 3.5.1 Level a as well.
Comment 6 Anne-Marie Mahfouf 2008-04-10 08:33:18 UTC
Happens to me on trunk 4.1, color picker gives me #003039 whatever color I try to pick. For example if I go frm Configure Desktop -> Wallpaper -> Color and from there use the color picker it gets stuck on the above value.

Not sure it is related to xgl, rpm -qa |grep glx does not return anything here. Not even sure it's the same bug but color picker does not work.

Any news on this ?

Color picker works OK here using:

Qt: 4.5.1 (qt-copy  958974)
KDE: 4.2.71 (KDE 4.2.71 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090428))
kdelibs svn rev. 960693 / kdebase svn rev. 960693
on ArchLinux i686 - Kernel 2.6.29.1
