--- Comment #5 from Kenneth Evans <k...@kenevans.net> --- This problem is more serious than I thought. I have had trouble using the Advanced Color Selector. Part of the reason is that I don't see the color that I am selecting, making it hard to choose the right color. I am now seeing the reason is that it is also using the Color History mechanism, and the preview patch doesn't appear on my display (when the selector is docked in its default place on the right). If I float the Advanced Color Selector, then I see there is a patch with the color I have chosen, the previous color chosen, and the previous color used (I think). Even then, sometimes the patches appear on the left and sometimes on the right. When they appear on the right, which seems to be the usual case, then they are all or mostly off screen when the docker is docked. If I can get them to be on the left, then they often stay on the left when re-docked. This is the behavior I would like, because they are then visible. However, I don't know the steps to make this happen, and by default they are on the right and not visible. On my Surface Book, with only one display, the patches seem to appear on the left when docked on the right, and there is no such problem. Thus there appear to be several problems associated with having more than one display: 1. Color History (H) appears on the wrong display. 2. The patches may appear on the left or the right of the Advanced Color Picker, seemingly randomly. They need to be on the left if docked on the right, and on the right if docked on the left to be seen. (I only use it on the right myself.) The default seems to be to be on the right, possibly because my other display is to the right of the one I am using. As far as I can recall, all the other art programs I use (and there are several) have the currently chosen color and also the secondary color on the window with the color diagram where you click to choose the color; that is, not floating. At least then it is always visible without these problems. However, the way it is implemented you do get a larger color patch (if it just worked right). This is a serious problem because it interferes seriously with choosing a color when you can't see the color you have chosen. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
