Eye Dropper Selection Tool Does Not Work in Flash Pro CS 5.5 On Mac OS Lion

I havent officially seen this posted anywhere for Flash Professional, but the color selection tool (eye dropper) does not work in Flash CS 5.5 (version 11.5.1) running on Mac OS Lion version 10.7.2

 

Has anyone heard of a fix being released for this? I can not find any documentation on the subject, and I cant possible be the only person experiencing this bug.

 

I have submitted an official bug report for this to adobe, but was wondering if anyone had any specific info on this issue, as it GREATLY impacts my work flow as an animator/artist

 

Thanks.

    This was fixed. Can you please update your Mac to 10.7.3?

     

    Thanks,

    The issue ended up being the change in resolution to my external monitor. Flash was unable to detect the proper coordinates of the color I was trying to select because I was running my monitor in HD mode rather than selecting an actual resolution from my monitor preferences. Changing the settings to an acutal resolution, instead of generic "HD mode" fixed the issue.
