    Hello,

    When I try to change a color on texture, particle system or a material Unity 4.5 Freezes.

    I never saw this issue before with Unity 4.3

    EDIT: If you click twice Unity freezes.

    Doesn't crash for me. Maybe submit a bug report, and include a video showing this happening.

    no crash but got some error messages here (had to really click it fast and lots of times.. particle system, gradient editor, color picker, keep clicking it, try holding shift or space also..: )

    - rc.right != m_GfxWindow->GetWidth() || rc.bottom != m_GfxWindow->GetHeight()
    - GUI Window tries to begin rendering while something else has not finished rendering! Either you have a recursive OnGUI rendering, or previous OnGUI did not clean up properly.
    - NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
    UnityEditor.GradientPicker.OnDestroy () (at C:/BuildAgent/work/aeedb04a1292f85a/Editor/Mono/GUI/GradientPicker.cs:122)

    Hello,

    I suffer the very same problem, and not only it happens in the color picker, but when I try to select the Gizmo menu or any other submenu. Everything freezes and stops responding. In addition, I tried the previus verions (even the 4.7), and the problem persists in all of them.

    Is there anything I can do? I have install and uninstall it at least 10 times in different versions.... And I updated the graphic card, an GTX 965M. The O.S is W10.

    Thank you.

    5.0.1 color pick and gismo was fine.
    5.3.3 color pick was freezed the unity, I dont tested gismo that time because I updated to 5.3.4 hoping that it will solve the the color pick bug.
    5.3.4 color pick still freez, gismo is working.

    I wrote the patch number work status to help unity team, it might be help them find what cause this if they know which version has working color pick and which has not.

    I only used the patches above, so I cant tell more about the other versions.

    I'm having the problem as well, running 2019.4.10f1, on Ubuntu 2020.4. I simply create a material and try to get the color. Sometimes it works, other times it freezes and nothing is selectable except the top menu navigation.

    I'm running Unity on a second monitor of my laptop.

    Actually, it seems to be only the eye-dropper that causes it to hang.
