Gimp 2.10 color eyedropper wrong color - marcuszan - 05-11-2018
Hi,
So I am running Gimp 2.10.0 on Kubuntu 18.04
The weird thing I notice is that when I use the color eyedropper tool in color selector, it gives me a totally wrong color value.
No matter where I click to grab a color, it always gives me #007efc
When I use the KColor Chooser program for KDE, it gives me correct color values everytime.
Any ideas ? I have no clue what happens here.
Thanks in advance.

I can reproduce that in a Kubuntu 18.04 / Gimp 2.10.0 VM. Using Change FG (or BG) with color picker always gives some blue value.
as this screen shot. https://i.imgur.com/PnCaLs4.jpg
The color picker tool works ok. The paint tool + ctrl to pick a colour, also works.
My regular Kubuntu 16.04 + Gimp 2.10.0 flatpak does not have the bug, I assume it is a 'buntu 18.04 thing. Difficult to report as a Gimp bug.
You might have to live with it until updates come along and use alternatives for FG/BG colour picker.
