When I click the color I'm currently using (Fill : ) in the context toolbar, it takes a good 2 seconds before showing up. I think this is only present on macOS Monterey but I'm not certain. Running macOS 12.0.1 (Intel) Affinity Designer 1.10.3 Also happening in Affinity Photo & Publisher (1.10.3) *EDIT, I didn't know my Taylor Swift would also be playing in the screen recording 😅 Screen Recording 2021-10-26 at 2.36.36 PM.mov

Just discovered this little issue with Color Picker UI being showed with approx. 1s delay after click. Be it called from Context Toolbar or Character Panel or somewhere in Layer Effects – Color Picker always shows up with that delay now. Seems to be introduced in 1.10.4 (Designer, Photo and Publisher are affected) as I never noticed this before. It was always just as instant as any other UI controls. The only barely noticeable and subtle delay that I ever experienced, was switching between Personas in Affinity Publisher. But I can completely understand this as the whole UI needs to be rearranged. But Color Picker alone...

This is very annoying, yesterday I upgraded to Monterrey and continued working in some illustrations. The first point is: I never had any issue with Affinity before, I think the software is so good that I totally forgot Adobe Illustrator, fact. It runs smoothly in my old and barely capable Mac (MacBook Pro Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015; 2,7 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3, Intel Iris Graphics 6100 1536 MB) for several years. Even in my other Macs that are even older. Then I saw a pending update for affinity so obviously I applied it. Then almost all seems to work OK, with the exception of the color fill selection, that is making all process very annoying and slow. It doesn't reacts instantly to the clic and only pops after a useless 2 o 3 seconds wait... that simply annoying (and bad) please fix that. I can add something before to go, from I don't remember which version, the app launch takes 5 or more fold to open. Was usual it opened almost instantly before, but from some versions ago it opens really slow. Same for Photo. I bought publisher too but honestly I almost never open it being Designer the most used of the 3 apps. That change in behavior wasn't so bad considering I almost have all time designer opened... so the process to open the app is almost just related to the moments I restart the laptop... eventually...
