Color chooser in Affinity Photo not opening (Windows)

[c1c3c11]

I was watching a video tutorial where they opened the color chooser in Affinity Photo by double-clicking on the color well in the color panel. When I tried this in Photo on my desktop, nothing happened. I double-clicked the color wells in the color panel, the color wells in the Tools panel, and even the color picker icon in both panels, but there was no response. I didn't have this problem when I did this in Affinity Designer.

Is there something in Affinity Photo I need to set in order for the color picker to open?  I am using Affinity for Windows if that is relevant.

Do you now or have you ever used a second monitor?

Sure you choose the right color well to open the color chooser?

As soon as I read this comment, I knew exactly what R C-R was talking about. The Color Chooser was opening on the other monitor, because I normally work on Affinity Photo on that device (Cintiq 16). I moved Affinity Photo over to the main monitor in order to follow along with the tutorial, and had forgotten that the dialog windows will open in the same location they opened previously. When I opened the Color Chooser again with the Cintiq turned on, there it was sitting in the middle of the screen where it had opened before 🤦‍♂️. As an excuse, I rarely swap this application to the main monitor and forgot that Affinity's dialog windows stay behind. But then, there's no excuse for a brain fart.

Thanks R C-R. That was a good call.
