Color picker (eyedropper) doesn't work
Trying to pick a shape's border color to match other on-screen elements. The eyedropper only works in the dialog box. Once outside, the chosen color is black no matter what the eyedropper is over....
I'm gonna drop the magic pill. When using the Eye Dropper outside the palette, hold Middle Mouse Button, then left click. Boom.
Great suggestion - tried this on my Mac running Parallels and RIGHT CLICK does indeed allow the eye dropper to sample outside the dialog box. However, it does not want to 'stick' to the sample once the cursor is back in the box. I also cannot find a way to store the sampled colours as 'custom colours'.

Sadly, I do not have a mouse that will do that. The Apple (too clever for its own good) mouse only has one clickable button and determines where your finger is to decide if it is ‘left’ or ‘right’ clicking. Will have to go and buy a new mouse I guess!
Thanks for the suggestion.
@ARTICULATE – this must be a bug. Any chance it can be fixed please?MARTIN DEAN
