Illustrator 2026 (Beta) "Pick color from an object"

Took me a bit to realize what was happening - whenever I used the new "Pick color from an object" feature (which I love, by the way) it would behave as expected, pick the color I needed, even able to set a fill color with another object's stroke color, vice versa.  But when I clicked OK to set the color and close the color picker window, my color would set to white/off-white.  I thought it was broken and lost hope until I noticed that the color I selected would stick if I hit enter to close the color picker rather than click OK.  

The "Pick color from an object" feature remains active until color picker closes, and does not deactivate after selecting the first color, as i was expecting it to.  So it was selecting the pressed/active color of the OK button, setting my color to that gray right before closing the color picker.
