Color swatch funky

Its hard to describe so I attached a screen video. When I have a colored object selected in illustrator and want to change the CMYK values I select cyan and enter the new percentage, then tab to the next color to enter the percentage and so forth into yellow and black. Recently as soon as I tab it goes gray or goes to the first (cyan) column again and I cant enter colors. So far I have to select, say cyan and type in the number. Then select nothing. reselect the color box again and select the next color on the list (magneta) and enter the color percentage.  Not sure if its the latest update thats affecting it or astute manager plugin or a combination of both. Anyone else run into this problems. Solutions?

I think I found the bug. Illustrator doesnt like it when I turn of the new feature showing most recent colors. As soon as I turn it back on and restart I have no problems.  Im stuck with the annoying list of most recent color list but hopefully they will fix that soon.
