recently used colors not appearing in palette

[kdock]

I just updated to Photo 2.4.0 on both my iPad Pro and Windows PC.  I'm not a proficient user, and I usually work on my Windows PC, but I'm having an issue that I can't find any info about except the online help that says that as I use colors, they will appear (at least temporarily) in my Recent Colors palette.

I'm not seeing this with any consistency.  I've chosen two different browns and used them in my drawing - both as flood fills, and neither were appearing as a Recent Color.  I spent about half an hour on my PC to see if the problem was there (it is) and when I looked back, one of the colors had been added to Recent Colors.  But not the second one, which I just used in my drawing.

This isn't the behavior I remember from prior versions.

This seems like a bug, but if there's any light to be shed on it, I'll be happy to learn.  I've uploaded a screenshot showing the lighter brown in Recent Colors but not the darker brown in the irises and eyebrow.

Thanks!

Comparing 1.10.7 and 2.4.0 on my iPad, the Flood Fill Tool does not update Recent Colors in either. The Paint Brush does.

I don't see anything in the iPad Help that describes how Recent Colors is supposed to work.

Walt, thank you. That must be what I was doing wrong. I searched the internet for issues with Recent Colors and found Affinity’s description that it updated Recent Colors automatically as you work, not describing how. I’ll see if I can find it tomorrow. Perhaps I overlooked further description.

Again, thank you! K

You're welcome.
