Custom Quick Tools - Color Picker not working with stylus

Post by Loki@99 »

Hi,

There is a bug when using Color Picker with a stylus on Quick Tools.

Steps to reproduce
1. Add Pencil to Quick Tools
2. Customize the Pencil right-click menu on QuickTools and add the Stroke Color from Ribbon > Format in order to get something like this

3. Select More Colors...

4. Select a color in the PDF with the Picker using a stylus

Bug
Selected color is white.
Seems like it still selects color in the OK button cause when using Dark UI theme, selected color is black.

Action performed with a stylus

Additionnal info
- No issue using a Mouse
- No issue using a stylus with the color Picker from Ribbon > Format. It is only reproducible with a custom Quick Tools
- Not specific to Pencil Tool. It's reproducible with any Tool pinned on Quick Tools which support Stroke/Fill color.

Thanks for investigating,

Hello, Loki@99

Thank you for the report, This certainly takes some setup to reproduce, but I did manage to get the issue on this end. In the meantime, I found that the issue does not appear to happen if you place the stroke/fill color dropdowns on the sidebar directly, instead of inside of a flyout menu.

This should help in the interim, while the Dev team investigates this.
