When attempting to use Dropper Color Picker to select a color on my screen or on my scene on Ubuntu26.04 LTS with Wayland Compositor and KDE Plasma 6 Desktop color dropper tool bugs out creating a black layer on the entire screen breaking functionality of the tool. I do not have X11 support outside of XWayland and am unable to utilize an X11 session to work in substance due to both my Distro Version and Desktop Enviornment.

    Hello ​@Vera+Ezra 

     

    We indeed are facing an issue with the eyedropper and linux version. That said, we are working on it and a fix should come.
