P: Only first color sampler will display 16 bit

I'm trying to measure 16 bit rgb values in an image (open in 16 bit mode). The two dynamic readouts at the top of the Info panel display 16 bit values. The first color sampler can be set to display 16 bit (by clicking on the sample's eyedropper in the info panel). However, the second sampler (and every suceeding one) have the bit depth choices greyed out. Anyone know why? See the image below showing greyed out bit depth choices for the second sampler. Photoshop 26.5.0, windows 11.

    I can replicate this with Photoshop v26.5 in Windows 11. It looks like a bug.

      Hey, @Oliver Edwards. Thanks for the details. I am able to recreate this with the latest Photoshop (beta) and Photoshop 26.5. I've shared this with the team for review and comment. 

       

      I also found that as you continue to add additional color samples (4 to 6), the bit selections of the 2nd sample become accessible. 

       

      Thanks!
