When the Move tool is the active tool and a UXP plugin opens the Photoshop Color Picker on Mac, focus appears to remain on the plugin instead of returning to Photoshop. This becomes obvious when attempting to pick a color from the image. The mouse icon is still the “pointer” icon when hovering over the image to choose a color instead of switching to the “precise” (cross hairs) or “standard” (eyedropper) icon as set in the Photoshop Preferences. When hovering over the Color Picker dialog window to choose a color, the mouse icon is still the “pointer” instead of the “small circle” icon that is usually seen to pick a color. Additionally, when you go to click a button on the Color Picker, like “OK” or “Cancel,” the icon switches to the “small circle” icon instead of the pointer icon. This problem is on Mac only. Windows shows the correct icons after a UXP plugin opens the Color Picker with the Move tool active.
I’ve attached a .ccx file for a plugin that demos this problems.
To repro:
-
Make the Move tool the active tool.
-
Open an image.
-
Click the “Open Color Picker” button on the plugin
Workaround: Make the Paintbrush tool (instead of the Move tool) the active tool before opening an image.
NOTE: Zoom tool and Hand tool appear to cause the same problem when they are the current active tool when an image is opened.
