I cannot reproduce this. Could you please provide a screen recording of the entire Krita window, not just a small section, and the .kra file with which this happens for you.

I added the file, but it happens with every new documents. Just in case.

It happens once every time I select a color. Once it changed, it stays the same. And when I select a new color, it happens onece, again.

I should've said "after I select a new color, it happens once, again."... you probebly get the point anyway. :)
Comment 9 Halla Rempt 2019-01-03 08:45:51 UTC
There's something else really curious in your gif: the size of the image is given in the statusbar as 0 bytes.
Comment 10 Halla Rempt 2019-01-03 10:39:36 UTC
This is a bug... But the color doesn't actually change. You can see that if you add the Specific Color Selector below the Advanced color selector. The Advanced Color Selector in your configuration has multiple pixels that correspond to one color. On switching layers, it will check the current color and place the cursor. And that might be in a different place than it was, even though the actual color didn't change.

Thanks for confirming. 

About the size in the statusbar : Krita seems to update the numbers after all the current process(brush strokes, filters... etc) is completed.

Re-confirmed for 5.2.6. 
I couldn't get the Advanced Colour Selector to make as dramatic leaps as in the gif recordings, but the circle moves around nonetheless. This minor visual bug isn't present in the Wide Gamut Colour Selector though, so it comes back to a question of whether it's worth trying to fix when the ACS is set to be replaced by the WGCS.
