CMYK colour picker is not working

[jakup]

Hi, I have found out that cmyk colour picker is still unusable... 

You're dealing with this issue for over a year.

How long will it take to fix it? I am willing to pay for V2 upgrade, but I won't if it's not fixed. C'mon, It's a DTP software, CMYK is important

Hope You'll fix it so I'm in

Edit: I have recorded designer, but this issue occurs also in publisher...

I'm not sure if this helps, but here we go

The "color-map" you are hovering over with you mouse is representing rgb colors that have a greater gamut than cmyk.
So you can se colors that cmyk can't produce. It shows the the nearest cmyk color it can produce.

On another note, I usually just use the cmyk sliders when I want to "blend" a new color - I think it's best practise, but you might disagree.

Not sure that's the issue. One can drag the mouse along the color map and see the sliders indicate numbers, but if the little selection circle is offset, and it is often, when one releases the mouse, instead of getting the colors indicated in the sliders, one gets the colors of the disembodied selection circle. Just seems to be a UI bug.

Reported since about 2021.

I just vent back to this, I misread a part - you're right, while holding down left mouse button and panning around in the "color-map" in the bottom, you can se the nearest cmyk value for that color. That's all good, but when you release the mouse button, the values (also cmyk values) are alll different.

As a programmer I think it does a recalculate when you release the button, that should not happen.

That's a truly annoying bug - there's a workaround but remembering the cmyk values, but c'mon man

But again, I usally (when working in cmyk) use the sliders, takes some time to get used to.
