In B|A mode, B doesn't use monitor profile

[Beep6581]

In the Before|After view mode, the Before view does not use the monitor profile.

Thanks @agriggio !

Confirmed that the monitor profile is now used when going into B|A mode, though subsequent changes while in B|A mode still only affect the "After" view.

e.g. here the monitor profile combo shows I'm using my monitor's profile, but actually the "Before" view is using the ACES profile, and only the "After" view is using the monitor profile:

Here are the ICCs to help test: https://filebin.net/vioosfmkjo2v15my

@Beep6581 yes, I'm aware of the problem. I won't fix it now though:

1. I think it's a marginal use case
2. it would require some refactoring which I'm not willing to do now. in fact, I hope 5.4 gets out of the door asap so that we can start tackling all this in a more future-proofy (if that's a word ;-) way

hmmm, reading your comment more carefully now I have a doubt: are you saying that if you edit the picture while in A/B mode then the A panel gets screwed up, or that if you change the monitor profile while both views are open then only B changes?
my comment above was referring to the latter. if you are seeing the former instead, then I agree this has to be fixed!

It's the latter:

1. Open some image in normal view,
2. Set the monitor profile to X.
3. Enable B|A mode.
4. Change the monitor profile to Y, e.g. because you dragged the RT window onto your second screen or because you want to soft-proof it.
   Now the before view uses X but the after view uses Y.
5. Change some tool. The before view shows the image correctly but using X, and the after view shows the change correctly but using Y.

Agreed that there are more pressing things.

ok. Suggested workaround: close and reopen the A/B view
