I have a Mac Pro with 10.6.8 and Premiere Pro 5.5.1. I've been holding off on upgrading to Lion, though I hear that there are significant improvements with timeline performance with it. However, I hear there is a bug related to use of the eyedropper tool. The description Adobe provides about the bug is a bit cryptic, but I assume it affects all uses of the eyedropper, which is used all over Premiere Pro, especially in the effects such as color correction or keying.
Can any Mac users who have upgraded comment on whether they've noticed improvements with their Lion upgrade and PPro 5.5.1 and if they are affected by the eyedropper tool bug?
Thanks for any advice.

The Premiere Pro CS5.5 (5.5.2) update fixes the problem with eyedroppers on Mac OSX v10.7 (Lion), as well as some other issues. See this page for details:
