Color management is completely broken.

I've done an ICC profile with an i1-Pro sensor. Obviously, this profile is applied "system-wide", since the desktop colors change from when I didn't have a profile.

I ran two measurements with the ColorHFCR soft, using a DVD with test patterns (grayscale, primaries...), playing it in MPC-HC.

First measurement, without color-management enabled (perceptual, 2.2, auto-detect) in MPC-HC. Everything flawless. Excellent grayscale tracking, dead on gamma.

Second, with color management enabled. A complete failure. Messes up the gamma, changes the grayscale...

I don't know what color management does, and yes, it alters the primaries, but messes up grayscale & gamma wich is more important.
