So another issue has cropped up, or rather has reared it's head in a worse way.

As of a couple 15xx betas ago, the color picker tool suddenly becomes non-resposive and the only way to bring it back has been to close Resolve and reopen it. It had been fairly rare but now it happens more frequently. Driving me nuts to say the least.

So maybe while they're in there fixing the freeze at boot up issue, maybe they can fix this too.

Love the coding wizards at BM, but sometimes . . . Oy....

What hardware (CPU, GPU, disk i/o) and what OS are you using?

I have not encountered this specific problem, but I have seen cases where the cursor gets "stuck" in the wrong mode, like it stays looking like a wrench (Power Window tool) when you're in a Color Picker mode or something like that. Usually, just going back to the Media Page and then switching back to the Color Page refreshes the screen and it comes back. Worst case, I do a GUI reset from the Workspace menu, reload my specific screen setup, and it's fine. It's intermittent and only happens maybe 2-3 times a week for me.
