Invalid Hue value crashes PWP

Post by davidh »

When the Remap color picker Color Space is changed from RGB to HSV or HSL and invalid value is entered into the first field (Hue) e.g. 241 instead of 24.1, the PWP 7.0.6 32 Beta crashes on Windows XP 32. I have not yet tested it in 64 bit version on Win 7.

Out of a tester's curiosity I have checked it in some more places with the following result:
It also happens in color pickers in Posterize and Color Balance after the color picker is opened without first clicking the respective buttons "Disable auto balancing" followed by warning "Editing will cancel auto white...."

This problem did not happen in Tint, Paint, Levels and Color, Monochrome and Color Picker instances opened through the option "Select solid color".

This also happens in PWP 6.0.9. It does not happen in PWP 5.1.0.8.

This is an ancient bug which probably goes back many years across all versions. It's pretty much random if it crashes or not. Anyway it should be fixed in the next beta release.
