Refraction tool bug upon color reset by double click.

Completed

Bug

lorenzo_yann

When a color in the refraction tool is reset, the "link" function is enabled despite the two sides being vastly different. A constant factor could be that when a color is reset, it also checks for its "twin" in the other wheel to be in the same position. If it is, some behaviours are triggered including unwanted ones. A suggestion would be to keep any boolean false as long as two identical colors across the two wheels share different positions.
A more severe alternative of the issue features the masking value also resetting back to 0.500.
An even more severe yet rarer alternative appeared under conditions I do not specifically remember and causes both tools to completely reset, including the masking, when one color is reset even if the "twin" from the other wheel isn't in the same position.
Keep in mind when I say "same position" I refer to the default one obviously.

Reproduction Steps

I modify the colors in the refraction tool while making sure to leave some on the default position.
I reset one of them, by double clicking, (notably the red ball in the "shadows" side of the tool) or any color that has its counterpart of the other wheel still in the default position.

Hi @lorenzo_yann !
Is this really happening right now? There were a few temporary bugs yesterday but they should have already been fixed. Please reload the app and check again. If it's still happening, can you share a quick screen recording showing exactly how this occurs? Thank you!

Seems like the least problematic iteration is still happening. https://imgur.com/a/8DyepaZ

@lorenzo_yann I just can't seem to reproduce it no matter what I try. Also what browser are you using? The UI doesn't look right either (there's too much space on top of the 🔗 icon...)
Who's that Jonathan guy? :D

@lorenzo_yann @monokee I am using safari 16.6 (18615.3.12.11.2). As of today it all seems to work well where activating the "link" feature when the two sides are different ensures to set one of the sides equal to the other.
To my judgement the bug is fixed but the link icon is still too low within the small circle it is encompassed in.
This person named Jonathan is somebody who replied me when I contacted support over email before I was aware of this bug-reporting platform.

@lorenzo_yann Gotcha! I was kidding about Jonathan btw - that's me, I'm the only person running this show :D

With regards to Safari - while Color.io technically works in Safari, you'll have a much better time in Chrome or Edge. In developer circles Safari is often referred to as the "next Internet Explorer" - i.e the worst browser ever made. Safari is lacking many new web standards that Color.io can utilize for up to 200% better performance, less bugs and an overall more enjoyable user experience. Additionally, Safari 16 is riddled with bugs. Safari 17+ seems to be better but it's still unfortunately a terrible browser.

Plus Chrome and Edge will allow you to install Color.io as a desktop app...
