Description mvowada 2015-05-30 02:42:44 UTC 
(Possibly the same issue: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=346534#c4)

The clickable areas of the color slots in the circular pop-up palette, seem misaligned at around 45 degrees on the four quadrants. (See video below)

Therefore selecting colors from the circular pop-up palette is difficult at those latitudes.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. collect 12 color samples to fill up the pop-up palette
2. mouse over the boundaries of the slots that run along an imaginary reference cross rotated by 45 degrees (see video below).

Actual Results:  
Selecting the colors samples at certain latitudes is difficult.

Expected Results:  
possible to select the color samples.

I'm sorry, I can still reproduce the problem on Ubuntu 14.04 Unity with the latest Krita 2.9.5 (git a9c99c9).

Hi, 

We can confirm (Wolthera and me). Nasty bug...

I've been experiencing exactly this same bug but for more than a year (since I started using Krita) but I just thought it was my cheap pen-tablet. 

Now I wonder if this has to do with the fact that the palette is a circle?
