P: HUD color picker not working for Gradient tool in version 24

I constantly use the HUD color picker for selecting color. The shortcut is Shift + Alt + Right click. This lets a hue strip or color wheel pop up to quickly choose colors on the fly. This shortcut used to work for both the brush tool and the gradient tool. Below is a screen grab of the HUD color picker wheel.

Ever since version 24 has been introduced this shortcut no longer works for the gradient tool.

I have been in touch with Adobe numerous times, but the recent updates still have this bug. So, I am still using version 23.

Is anyone else struggling with this?

Hi, are you using 24.3? The issue is supposed to work on 24.1.1, at least on a Mac. can you check in system info?

GooieDag and Welkom, Roel, I moved your post from your other thread to this one, as the issue is different.

This problem seems to be back in version 24, but only for the gradient tool. So, the brush tool still has the HUD color picker, but not the gradient tool.
