Yes, you have to choose some other swatch before closing the window -  
this seems to have something to do with the state of the picker - it  
need to correspond to an unchanged color (any other swatch) in order  
for it to not change color spontaneously when the window is closed ...

I'm currently traveling so I won't be able to track this down and cure  
anytime soon...
