The Advanced Color Selector doesn't update its inner state after picking a color with the color picking tool. This bug can be reproduced with any layout of the Advanced Color Selector, but for the sake of this example, we will select a specific version of it. To avoid any confusion, deactivate the Shade Selector in the Advanced Color Selector, this bug is related to the strip/wheel always present in the Advanced Color Selector, not with any of its Shade Selectors. To reproduce: 0.- Configure your color selector to take any of the shapes of the 4th row, consisting of a circle with colors and a strip above to adjust lightness. 1.- Make a patch of color on the canvas, for example a Red patch. 2.- Select a different color in the Advanced Color Selector, for example Blue. 3.- Paint a little with it. 4.- With the Color Picker Tool, pick a color from the patch created in step (1) (if you followed the example, pick from the Red patch). 5.- Now try to adjust the lightness of your shade of Red using the strip in the Advanced Color Selector, Whoa!, It suddenly switched to a shade of BLUE! (or to the color you selected in step (2)). 6.- Now that you know how the bug works, try reproducing it with different Advanced Color Selector layouts, different colors, try to use the color picking tool with a hotkey or directly selecting it; you will notice that the bug works in all those cases. It took me several, several hours of disgruntled color picking to realize exactly what was wrong with the color selector, and finally I have found the bug!. Please fix As Soon As Possible, it's a show stopper for anyone who uses the Advanced Color Selector solely (for example: me).
i will look into it this week..
yay and hugs!
Okay, the fourth row shapes are broken: see also 294032
