The attached screenshot show a hue clock with the text and CMYK options set. It's not very useful! If that much information is selected it needs to be laid out a bit better.

Also, the View ribbon panel starts off with Show Info and Actual Colour selected. Only the actual colour values aren't shown. If you click on Actual Color again, it then shows the colour values, but then there doesn't seem to be a way of toggling off the actual colour values.

Hmm, yes there is. Use the toggle below to switch back to Hue Clock Only. Clicking Clock and Text redraws the hue clock in a more sensible manner.

So the bug appears to be that when using the colour mode switches for the hue clock, if the display mode is automatically switched to Clock and Text, the resize/redraw of the hue clock isn't done properly. Plus the Actual Color radio button shouldn't be highlighted to started with.

As a usability issue, maybe it would be better if the Actual Color, RGB, Lab, HSB and CMYK buttons where on/off buttons. If you click the highlighted one it goes 'off' and switches the clock mode back to Hue Clock Only. I think the behaviour would be consistent then.
