Generative/Recolor window flickers/mostly disappears when scrolling / Color issues

Question

A few points and potentials bugs in regards to Recolor/Generative Recolor
- The window flickers/mostly disappears when scrolling. It does this in both RGB and CMYK document settings. (See video attached)
- Generative recolor results aren't as expected. "Cotton candy" or "pastel" leaves me with some questionable colours... eg, brown, and some oddly bold colours as well. Even when I create swatch colours, it doesn't really utilize them (sometimes it's closer than others). (See video attached)
- The variations preview appears to show RGB colour format, even when in CMYK document settings. It would be a more accurate preview if the colours matched the document colour settings. (Circles image attached)
- Variations preview locks onto an object and a particular colour, and that object's colour doesn't change in the variation preview for any subsequent generations (see sample image with purple leg at the top of each variation preview option). When I select the preview, the illustration/image changes appropriately to the colour it "should" be (even though it shows up differently in the preview). (2 sample/leg images attached)
- I had a similar thing, as above, happen with "squares" test in the regular Illustrator. Always a black square... but when I click on that variation, it actually shows up as a black square. This is more accurate than in the beta, but it would be nice if the colours shuffled more (instead of the same object always being the same colour) (Squares image attached)
 
Hope this report helps &#128578;
