Draw a shape and set its filling to a gradient. Select that shape and click on "Interactive gradient tool" in sub-toolbar "Transformations". You get a gradient-transformation-line on the shape with to color fields at the end. Open "Color Bar". It is directly in menu View or in View->Toolbars, depending on the version of LibreOffice. Drag a color from the Color Bar to the color fields at the gradient-transformation-line. Expected: The gradient color is changed. Seen: Drag is not possible. With mouse-down the shape already changes to solid fill and gets the chosen color as new fill color. The ability to drag a color to the color-field is essential for the "Interactive gradient tool".

I'm not sure I see what's changed ? In 6.4 if a shape is selected and I click a color then the selected shape is changed to the clicked color. If no shape is selected I can drag a color from the colorbar and drop it over a shape and the shapes changes to the color. What interaction is different in master ?
Created attachment 160819 [details] Illustration of the situation I have attached an illustration of what you need to do.
I think I understand now, dragging is possible, just useless because the color was set on the mouse down as opposed to on the mouse up, which had allowed a click, drag, drop, release to set the dragged color
