SUMMARY

When you exit and restart Krita, the Specific Color Selector will change from Grayscale to Color, as seen in video.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have an image that has an RGB color space
2. Choose Grasycale/Alpha in the Specific Color Selector
3.  Exit Krita
4. Restart Krita
5. The Specific Color Selector will change to RGB, even if locked

Note that if the color space of the image is Grayscale, it only momentarily changes to RGB, and the size of the docker is changed.

Great app, thanks!

OBSERVED RESULT
Changes.

EXPECTED RESULT
Stays same.

Yes, well, the specific color selector doesn't remember most settings across sessions, that simply hasn't been implemented yet.
