Try as I might for the last 30 minutes, having read all the other comments in this thread so far, I can't reproduce this on 15.3.1.

Did you try it with numerous pointing devices, or one in particular? It took only one try on a trackpad, M3 MBP

Having now retried it, I wasn't able to reproduce it until re-launching the wallpaper selection screen, then it was chaotic again. Bizarre.

Uh oh, it looks like the RDF is broken now. Maybe this is caused by the fact that the man in the white house has a stronger one.

Sigh. Seems like Reddit is leaking again.

initially also cannot, but now can. open wallpaper setting > choose + in color section, choose any color, close popup, (IMPORTANT) close setting panel.

now reopen the wallpaper setting again, click on top right custom color and do this, somehow the behavior is different. Now it change the wallpaper color as you drag over the colors rather than mouseup. My guess is clicking on + button at the bottom is triggering the popup config to update on mouseup, while opening it fresh will configure it to trigger on update, until the + button is clicked.
