Swatch color values get adjusted proportionally when pasting a value with Ctrl/Win+V
New Swatch dialog always adjust values proportionally when just pasting a value.
Here are the steps to reproduce the bug (and the GIF):
- In a new CMYK document create a global swatch with CMYK 33 10 33 0
- Confirm, edit the swatch again
- Copy '20' value as text from anywhere
- Paste the value into the M input — using Ctrl/Win+V (I’m on Windows)
Ai would turn both '33' values into '66', doubling it, as if Ai thinks I want to adjust values proportionally — as if I HOLD Ctrl when CONFIRMING the value — while I haven’t confirmed it yet...
If I paste using Shift+Insert, the values stay unchanged as expected.
It could have been a nice trick, to choose if I want to proportionally change values or not — similar to how some panels in Ai allow to temporarily constrain values with Ctrl held, like Color or Transform — but... we have no way to just PASTE without it :)

It’d be great for the Ctrl+Enter to work in this New Swatch / Swatch Options dialog, to proportionally change the color according to the changed value instead of this bug... but it just doesn’t do anything (including just blatantly closing the dialog)...
