Changing color space won't change swatches
BUG NOT IDEA
convert cmyk document to rgb. Swatches won't change. Can change custom but black stays CMYK which is different than RGB 000.

This is happening in files I've been given from other designers lately too, changing intent to web from print or vice versa doesn't change the [Black] to RGB black (or CMYK black if the other way around), and WORSE, a related bug happens where not all colours in a document actually appear as swatches...
So if any boxes or text etc in the document use a CMYK colour in say a document where Web is set as the intent, they don't show up in swatches palette... if I select that object and add the swatch, then go to "find colour" in a bid to replace all instances with the RGB version of the swatch, it finds no instances, if I add it it'll add a duplicate of the colour, and if I then delete that swatch + select a replacement it will only replace in that one element I had selected.
It's acting more like illustrator swatches lately and that was one of IND's best strengths previously, colour control!

To David Prescott, I've done that but swatches (black) won't change from CMYK. Thanks for trying.

File > document setup and at the top of the Document Setup dialogue box change the intent from "print" to "web" an it will convert all colours to RGB, including [Black] :)
