Screencap of the Krita color selector dialog displaying confusing behavior
In addition to the crash I reported in Bug #381176, I also noticed another
oddity. If I open the color selector from the top toolbar and try to manually
type in 8-bit RGB values, the color ring will turn all black when I type the
third color.
As far as I can tell, it looks like Krita is expecting something closer to
16-bit RGB values, not 8-bit, and as such, it's treating the numbers I input as
extremely low 16-bit values, thus showing black. That's a guess, though. My
other paint/image programs only work with 8-bit RGB values, and there are a few
tasks I do in Krita now after giving up on Gimp.
So when I need to do something in Krita using a color, I thought I could just
hand-type the 8-bit RGB values in and Krita just rolls with them, but that
doesn't seem to be the case? Thus, it is difficult to determine if this would
be a legit bug or not. But it is, at minimum, confusing behavior.
Additionally, even when I type in the three 8-bit RGB values, the hex #rrggbb
field looks wrong. If Krita only supports 16-bit values, I'd expect the "Color
name" field to use a format of #rrrrggggbbbb, but it is instead only displaying
the #rrggbb hex format one would expect of 8-bit color values.
If I use the "Specific Color Selector" pane on the right-side of the screen and
type my 8-bit RGB values in there, that gets everything right, including the
#rrggbb hexadecimal value. So the issue in this case seems limited to the
popup dialog box version of the color selector.
Screenshot attached.
