Swatch window is unresponsive/acting strangely?
I'm finding since updating to Illustrator 30.8.2 (Mac OS 27.0.1) that the swatch windows are behaving strangely? For example, if I select a colour in the swatch window, two will 'highlight' or sometimes not at all, or when I select a colour as part of artwork on an artboard, the colour doesn't highlight in the swatch window?
I'm also having trouble dragging colours to reposition them within the swatch window?
Is this a known issue?

Thanks for the reply.
Made a recording of the swatch window. On this you can see the colours 'sticking' where I'm trying to reorder them. They move once, then get 'stuck', or don't move at all. Sometimes a second one highlights too even when not clicked. Seems to be happening with Spots?
The glitch where it doesn't always highlight or jump to the colour when selecting items on the artboard is a bit more random, so couldn't capture that.
I can't share the files due to client confidentiality unfortunately. I'll try and set up a generic file though.
Does this help?

Ben, no, this is the first time I hear of it.
Could you please record a video the next time you catch it? If possible, attach the file (if you are OK with sharing it publicly; if no — please email it instead to sharewithai@adobe.com, with the report’s link mentioned, https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/51812091)
Can you reproduce it in a new file? Does it happen with an swatch type or, perhaps, spot only? Please try to collect more info.
