Description

Is there an existing issue for this?
  • I checked and did not find my issue in the already reported ones
Describe the bug

When setting an offset for the node placement the vertical line generated by the new interactive crosshair is off.

Steps to reproduce

Open Color equalizer
Use the picker to dial in one of the nodes exactly onto a color
disable the picker
hover over the same spot you picked on
Observe the vertical line being off

Adjustments are seemingly put in at the right colour though.

The effect seems to be of different magnitude for different colours.

Expected behavior

darktable should behave

(zoomed in for privacy reason, with this pink colour the effect seemed to be largest)

Research direction

Trace the crosshair's vertical line and node-placement offset, then verify that the line aligns with the selected color across different colors.
