THIS IS STILL AN ISSUE. This is a ridiculous change that needs to be reverted.

Hello ​@RWM202 It was an intentional change by the team to make the color picking more precise.

That could not make less sense. It has done the complete opposite of that. it was more precise before when I could actually see what I was selecting.

Hello @Ebnograph and @defaultp3n0fy3a3kt9  can you please share an explainer video for us to understand the issue clearly?

And about the effects, @defaultp3n0fy3a3kt9 this is a known issue.

Has this been resolved yet as I am finding the same issue and it's so annoying!

The eyedropper is also missing from the Drop Shadow / Outerglow etc, feature now too.
