Changing color in other format not possible anymore (since color picker?)

[Thomas Rickenbach]

A while ago (don't know the exact version) the devtools allowed me to change a color in RGB that was authored for example as a named color.

I shift-clicked on the color preview square until RGB was shown and started editing by double-clicking.

But some time ago (around the time the color picker was introduced) the behavior changed. Now when I double-click on the color it's always the authored version that's being edited.

As an example: I have created a color in RGB and then realize that it's a little too dark. What I used to do is to shift-click on the preview square to show the color in HSL and then edit the brightness before showing it as RGB again and saving. But now I have to show in HSL, copy the color, double-click, insert the HSL color, edit it, change back to RGB, copy the color again and then finally paste it. 

I initially thought this was a bug that was going to be fixed quickly but the behavior is still the same.

I'm aware of the color format setting but it's not what I'm after. I don't want to switch globally but switch between styles for each CSS style, per default showing them as authored.

Is there a logical reason for this that I missed or is it simply a bug? I couldn't find anything on the web about it.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Thomas

I did not read your entire post, but have you tried shift clicking the color square?

This is weird that the behavior is different when shift+clicking vs. global setting changing.

Please file a bug on http://crbug.com/new and send us a link

Shift-clicking does change the displayed color format but when you edit it the color reverts to the old format.

Yep, I was able to reproduce it.
