SUMMARY KColorChooser does not display the color hovered over on the screen, but is able to select it. Plasma is launched under Wayland, I've tried it on "Wayland" and "XWayland" applications and the result is identical. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Use KDE Under Wayland session 2. run kcolorchooser OBSERVED RESULT - EXPECTED RESULT - SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.8 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.110.0 Qt Version: 5.15.10 Kernel Version: 6.5.5-arch1-1.1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 630 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION screencast : https://imgur.com/a/beSi2ge kcolorchooser : 23.08.1-1 (arch)
Can you clarify what you mean by "display the color hovered over on the screen"? Maybe a screen recording would help to illustrate the problem. Thanks!

In KColorChoose, the vertical preview rectangle that should display the color under the cursor does not update in real time while hovering over the screen. Currently, the preview only changes after a left-click, which means the color is not shown live during cursor movement. Expected behavior : The vertical preview rectangle should update immediately and automatically to reflect the pixel color under the cursor, without requiring a mouse click. Actual behavior : The preview rectangle remains unchanged until the user performs a left-click. This completely breaks the eyedropper / precise color-picking function, since you can’t verify the color before clicking.
