I just had a simple task to convert my CMYK project to four pantone print which now is really tedious. I had this CMYK filled object, then i click on fill on status bar, then i go for spot colors. And now theres a bug: if you happen to have any colors in your document palette then clicking on a triangle next to "Spot" palettes (i wanted to convert to Solid Coated v3) to fold out actually changes to Document Palette and changes object color to first color form document palette. Trying to change color to pantone from Color Docker is even worse as it becomes unresponsive. can anyone confirm such behaviour?
Yes and it's a bad one.
Yes, that happens sometimes

I see the same behavior when trying to navigate to select a Spot color palette. I agree; it's very tedious now.
When you do this sort of CMYK-to-Pantone conversion, are you just allowing CorelDRAW to find what it thinks is the "best match" from the palette? The reason I ask is that, for simple uniform fills and fountain fills, that's something that might be automated fairly easily with a small VBA macro.
I can confirm both issues.The second one about the Color docker not working is serious.I made a few tests with this docker as a floating window, and in my opinion it is completely broken.I will try to notify Corel about it.
Yes, basically i allow Corel to do conversion first, then i take out my Pantone Guide, check what those colors actually look like and if they'e not the match for me i hand pick from the Guide and apply it to object desired. I know that macro would do this for me but it was basic funcionality in Corel that was working ok in previous versions. It's not like i do it very often but still a serious UI problem
