Using an iPad pro v5, current on all updates. The issue with the swatches/saved palettes switching [to another palette] each time a new color is added to an application palette is ongoing. Thank you for noting this issue.

I am using the color picker to select colors to add to an application palette. Once a color fill selection has been added to a color palette, the palette automatically switches to the “recent colors” palette, while labeling it with the name of the other color palette. The option to add colors also goes away and doesn’t come show up again until I navigate back to the previous color palette.

Problem #1 Problem #3 Problem #2: Adding new swatches The palette dropdown menu seems to switch back to the Recent Colors list every time a swatch is added to a custom Document palette. Nonetheless, the palette set dropdown still displays your custom palette. As soon as a new swatch is added to the list something weird happens. The dropdown menu displays the correct palette set created just seconds ago. But the palette box appears to switch to the Recent Colors list because suddenly I can see a bunch of them in the area. This always makes me think that I've added multiple fills to my custom palette. It's confusing. Try to replicate this yourself while following these steps: Start a new document. Create an empty Document palette. Create 5 rectangles. Remove their stroke color. Select each rectangle individually and apply a different fill. All 5 shapes should have unique fills. Select one of the rectangles and save the swatch to the empty palette created moments ago. This is where instead of the currently selected fill, suddenly all recent colors you picked appear in the box. Just as if they were all added to the set.

For some reason when using the dropper tool to create a new palette, after the color is added, the menu reverts to “recent colors” instead of the the new palette. You then have to go back in the menu and choose the palette to continue adding each new color, after which it will once again revert to “recent colors”. This is an unnecessarily arduous process.

When adding fill color to a Palette, (either document or application) recent colors immediately show up in the current palette. To fix this, you have to go back into the swatches menu and re-select the palette you were working on… then the correct colors will show up.

It happens in all 3 apps, for both Document and Application. Reinstalling and rebooting doesn’t help. Video Below. (If you already know, sorry for wasting your time; kind regards!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuit-8Yd3eA
