P: Swatches name glitch (macOS)

Latest Photoshop, Mac. Clicking on the name of a colour swatch does this:



I can't figure out a way of reinstating the name of the swatch once this has happened.

I assume that's not intentional behaviour?

Any update on this?  I use specific swatches for my design work and I can't get the names back.

Has there been a fix for this? I've got a shiny new Mac, brand new Photoshop... and this glitch is happening. I use my swatch list all day, this is maddening!

Hello @defaultqen7v3nzr211 , @leds2097726 could you please email me sample swatches that are showing this issue? I'd like to reproduce it. My email is clrodrig@adobe.com

Swatches can be exported using the Swatches Preset Panel.

  1. Window > Swatches
  2. Once Swatches Preset panel select the folder or group of swatches that show the issue.
  3. Go to the hamburger menu (top right) and select 'Export selected swatches' and select the location.

This will create a file with .aco, please send that attachement. 

Also please copy System info and save it to a text file. This can be found in Help > System Info

 

Thanks

Hi, I have the latest version of Photoshop this date and I lose swatch names of custom swatch groups whenever I move them for desired order. Not only do I lose the name of any moved swatch, I lose all the names of all swatches within the group. Is this a glitch as well? Thank you.

Small list.

No, I can't think of anything that would have caused this. No new extensions, filters etc.

I've gone back to a previous version now anyway,  2020 is a massive car crash.

They are .aco files downloaded from Dribbble.

The swatches color panel loses names in list mode:
