AP iPad 1.7.1 color selector broken

[BeverlyE]

When I try to use the eye dropper tool to select a color inside my layer the round selection icon refuses to go past the outer edge. I've tried multiple times and it won't work. There is no problem with this in the latest Beta version and I have never had an issue until the latest update.

Hey BeverlyE,

I've been trying to reproduce this for a while with no luck. Does it appear to be specific to your image? What colour mode are you in? Have you tried restarting the app/iPad?

[BeverlyE]

Chris B,

No it is not image specific. I just restarted my iPad and if I hold the color picker down for a couple of seconds it will move to a different location but there is a huge lag and it won't go just anywhere. It's like it jumps. Very frustrating. I restart my app frequently.

In  this screen recording I'm gliding my Apple Pencil on the iPad. I'm not picking it up and resampling.

Hey BeverlyE,

I just got it when I converted my document to 32 bit. Is this what you are using by any chance? 

[BeverlyE]

I'm not familiar with that. :-\ I import jpgs or pngs and don't convert anything. I've not changed the way I'm working. It just started with the latest update.

Chris,

I've found Convert Document and it says I'm using 8 bit. So that's not the problem.

I’m having the same lag issue with the color selector.

[Chris B]

Perhaps there's just generally a performance issue with it. It's just a tad worse for me in 32 bit but that doesn't mean it can't potentially happen in any colour mode. I've logged it with the developers so hopefully they can find out what's going on.

My color selector is so slow and laggy its hardly usable.

I'm still waiting on feedback for the bug report I made about this. Sorry.
