Change color mode - stroke goes from none to color

- 
Draw shape with pen tool - switch foreground and background color (fill now black, stroke none)
 - 
Change color mode from rgb til hls
 - 
Stroke is now black (on exactly stroke, because stroke is still active, in front)
 - 
Set stroke to none
 - 
Change color mode
 - 
Stroke is set here as well
 - 
Selecting another color mode should never actually set a color on an object
 - 
Switching colors between stroke and fill should probably also affect which one is in front, active

@Ingolf Setting the color mode will select the color to the selected object, by design. The color mode is also stored with the object.
I will think of a way to avoid setting the color mode if the object has no fill (or stroke). Or maybe make this an option (panel menu).
About switching the color target: this could be done, but none of the other apps do this, so I'm a bit worried about the expectations of new users.

 If you solve it I don't think you have to make it another setting. Toggling mode is not a color choosing action, so I wouldn't expect anything to happen in the color chooser when selecting another color mode.About switching the color target: this could be done, but none of the other apps do this, so I'm a bit worried about the expectations of new users.
You are right - this is how it works in Illustrator, Affinity and others so better if you stay in sync with them.

@Ingolf There is a Select Color Mode option in the Color panel menu, to control whether the color mode change causes the selection of the color or not.
