Follow-up Comment #4:
Another workaround: press the keyboard shortcut for it, which by default is
"R".
Reproduced this under Unity on an up-to-date Ubuntu 12.10 under Virtualbox,
but it doesn't happen every time. PPA version
1.0.0+git20121125.4bc72ec-1ppa1~quantal1
I cannot reproduce this in Xfce 4.8 under Debian testing, nor Xfce 4.8 under
Ubuntu 11.10. This is probably a Unity problem.
It seems to be limited to the pointer button colour picker, which in this PPA
build is bound to both <Control>Button1 and <Alt>Button1 by default. It
doesn't seem to be happening on the same action accessed via the keyboard
mapping (the R key by default), but that way of getting at it is broken too.
-------------------------------------
*Symptom 1: colour picker does not continuously pick*
Steps to reproduce
* Start MyPaint. Point the mouse at the canvas area.
* Hold down "R" and move the mouse
* Release "R"
Expected behaviour:
* Colour picker square and mouse cursor appear
* While the mouse is moved with "R" held, square and brush colour updates
continuously with the colour under the cursor
* When the "R" key is released, square disappears and cursor changes back to
the "brush circle"
Observed behaviour:
* Colour picker square and mouse cursor appear [correct]
* An initial update of the colour happens, but the colour in the queare and
the brush coluur do *not* update continuously [incorrect]
* When the "R" key is released, square disappears and cursor changes back to
the "brush circle" [correct]
--------------------------------------------
*Symptom 2: colour picker square does not disappear when launched with mouse
button combination*
Steps to reproduce
* Start MyPaint. Point the mouse at the canvas area.
* Hold down <Ctrl>Button1 and move the mouse
* Release <Ctrl>Button1
Expected behaviour:
* Colour picker square and mouse cursor appear
* (picking happens: see expectations for symptom 1 but we're ignoring that
here)
* When the combination is released, square disappears and cursor changes back
to the "brush circle"
* Painting is now possible with the changed colour
Observed behaviour:
* Colour picker square and mouse cursor appear [correct]
* (picking happens, incorrectly: see observed for symptom 1 but we're ignoring
that here)
* When the combination is released, square does *not* disappear and cursor
does *not* change back to the "brush circle" [incorrect]
* Painting is now possible with the changed colour [correct]
* Moving the pointer over the picker square exits the popup state
[workaround]
