Colour is not adopted for gradients

[J.A.]

Hi,

If you create a gradient in the Designer and pick up the different colours with the colour pipette, the colour is not applied to the desired gradient point, even though it is selected. Once a gradient point has been selected and you use the colour field and then the pipette, the colour is applied. I have shown it in a video and I hope you understand it.

That is the way that the color picker in all the panels is designed/intended/documented to work (including in the Color panel, Swatches panel, the one you show, etc.) Only the actual Color Picker Tool applies colors immediately.

Note: They are changing this design in 2.6, currently in Beta, and the changed function is described here:

You don't need to use the pipette. You don't even need to open a colour editor. Simply alt/opt-click on a colour to put that colour into the active stop of the gradient.

Cool, thanks for the tip with the direct click on the colours, that's even easier!
