Lightroom 6.x and Lightroom CC Soft Proofing bug getting fixed

[KBStudio]

Here is a link to a link on the problem http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?topic=28357.0  Soft Proofing in both versions of Lightroom have been displaying the wrong RGB values in the Histogram window.
Today I got a notice from Adobe that they confirmed the bug and that a fix will be in the next update.  This bug was first described in April.  Adobe apologized for missing it in the latest updates.  Appreciate that!

Been a bug since LR6 was released in April of this year. I reported it to them back then. They were apparently so busy hosing the import dialog then fixing it and not listening to beta testers who could have told them this fact before LR6 was released, I guess they haven't had time to fix it.

Can't we for once appreciate something good without SH*tting all over Adobe. Time to move on here to better days...maybe make some photos.

Well the facts are, had the LR team had the right people viewing these issue before release, or had the LR team listened to the people they did invite, this Import debacle wouldn't have happened, nor the Soft Proof bug.

No one is defecating on Adobe is this thread.  Just the facts are being stated.  Chill out.

Is it shi**ting on XRite to want their software to not suck?  Or just the desire for these companies to have a more holistic approach to their product which combine hardware, software and science?

On the other side of the coin, I'm reasonably sure has engineering meetings w/ Marketing and they decide which bugs get fixed and which get pushed out depending on resources available.  Or perhaps their 'system' to do that is broken.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a feature ... (bought and paid for previously) ... functioning correctly so users of Lr 6.x can make some photos with the capability of reading correct RGB values when soft proofing?

Sure, it must be rather painful and annoying to realize that the awesomeness that is Adobe is a bit tarnished of late .... bug reported 8 months ago when v6/2015 was first released ... they just now discovered the issue and it was a mere oversight it hasn't been addressed until now? It's not a result of a lack of resources or ignorance of the issue ...  the evidence is overwhelming that they had the time and manpower to invest in other areas that proved to be an exercise in futility ... it is a result of poor decision making in the allocation of those resources.

Sure, we all appreciate they have finally recognized the issue, but it is a classic example of the poor judgement they have been applying to their efforts of late. That's not an unfair assessment ... it's purely a statement of fact. If you find that the truth hurts ... perhaps you could use your extensive influence to convince those that make decisions on such matters at Adobe to to a better job. That would be the quickest method to silence the naysayers.

Or suck less by at least providing the useful functionality we lost in ProfileMaker Pro with this 'new' flagship, high end profiling package.

Somehow I doubt that...

All I want (from Adobe and X-rite as an example) is to behave towards their customers, in terms of software bug fixes, to behave as they did in the past. I'm not asking for perfection. But 8 months to fix a bug that isn't in their sister product (ACR) is kind of a bummer and not the behavior I've seen in the past from Adobe.

Ditto ... I don't expect perfection ... I do expect to retain functionality I had bought and paid for previously to be restored in a timely fashion when a problem arises.
