http://goo.gl/GPkzH - I selected the green box, hit shift+click with the eyedropper on the red text, and the box stays green, but the color panel shows it as red. That is a major bug.

Eyedropper tool with [shift]  can carry out regardless of the eyedropper setup by double-clicking the tool.

It is usual action for picking up only color.

Wow, didn't realize I disrespected you so much with my comments, I will try to be more sensitive from here on out.

To answer your question, I have tried the eye dropper settings and it has no affect. In my last post I attached a link to show the issue.

I realize these are user forums, but there is no way to contact Adobe with bugs, so by keeping a thread active, the hope is that someone might notice it.

Actually, I take back my comment about disrespecting you, I was not giving you any "attitude", you are being incredibly sensitive and trying to read tone in text. Don't make me feel bad or guilty by calling me out for what I said, in no way was I being insulting. I may be just a lowly "member", but if you think you can bully me with your MVP+++ status you are wrong.

I'm having the same issue since I updated to 16.0.3. Didn't happen in version 16.0.2. I hope Adobe solve this bug asap as I use the eyesdropper a lot for strokes.

Also, if you copy text that has a color and paste the text into another location, the color is not retained and defaults back to black.

I've had the same issues since the update.  I've never used the Cloud so, that isn't the issue.  There is something buggy in that last revision that, I hope, will be fixed soon.  Being an avid eyedropper utilizer, this is a pain the flanks.

I think i'm going to lose my mind. This is totally unacceptable as probably every user uses the eyedropper every other second. I'm ready to pull my hair out. Come on Adobe. Why are we paying for broken products?

This has magically fixed itself for me. Does anyone else here use "Font Explorer X" ?

I do, along with the "Astute Graphics" Plugins (the full set, they're gorgeous and you should try them).

I'm suspecting it might have to do with Font Explorer. Try quitting Font Explorer and starting Illustrator without it.

I also reinstalled Illustrator, but for the life of me don't know what else I "did right" to get my correct eye dropper behavior back.

I was really sad when it behaved backward, so if there's anything I can do to help, let me know!

We filed plenty bugs about this I think

I neither have Font Explorer X nor the plugins :/

With this many people having the *exact* same bug - this is just not cool anymore.

I'm calling Adobe tech support to get to the bottom of this.

Thanks, Scott.  That fixed the issue for me.

I think this version is number 16.2.1 for cloud, and 16.0.4 for non-cloud.
