Build Identifier: 

I use gpick a lot, after new install of 23 I reinstalled it but it can't seem to pick colours, it just picks black. I tried reinstalling it, same problem. So then I tried the picker in gimp and that has the same issue. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open gpick or gimp
2. try to pick a colour using the pipette tool 
3. it just selects black
Actual Results:  
it picks black

Expected Results:  
should pick the colour under the pointer

Moving to gpick maintainer for debugging. 

Are you using a gnome/wayland session by chance?

Comment 2 gingerling 2016-06-02 23:30:52 UTC
ah yes, good call, I am using wayland to avoid this https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1316877 which has caused some really serious overheating

Comment 3 gingerling 2016-06-10 21:58:17 UTC
actually, just tried this now in wayland, on the off chance, and it;s still the same

Comment 4 Luya Tshimbalanga 2016-06-11 01:29:31 UTC
Rendering issue is on Wayland.

Comment 5 gingerling 2016-06-11 08:57:10 UTC
Ah yes, it I wasn't back in gnome, Log out, change to gnome, log in does not seem to be working right, I had to reboot a few times to get out of wayland. I sould probably report that too!

I filed the bug to upstream. See https://github.com/thezbyg/gpick/issues/133

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-25 09:12:12 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Fedora Linux 36 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2023-05-16.

Fedora Linux 36 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
