P: Eye dropper sampling ring missing

In V22.0.1 the eyedropper sampling ring is missing. Toggling the checkbox in teh options bar does nothing.

 

Resetting preferences does not resolve.

 

Windows 10 v20H2  and NVidia RTX2080ti driver 456.71

 

The tool works correctly in v21 and earlier on the same system

Another update, another broken mess. 

 

This time you broke thee Popup color wheel (Settings -> General -> HUD Color Picker)

- When using the brush, you can hold ALT to change the brush size/opacityю

- Holding SHIFT+ALT pops up a color wheel.

ALT shortcut still works for brush control, ALT+SHIFT no longer works

 

Video from current and previous versions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0EZyVRj2ro

 

These shortcuts are a godsend for someone who uses the software professionally and is always looking to improve their workflow and speed. Taking this feature out (and retaining the settings for it) is a giant blow to usability.

control-option-command + drag to open "HUD color Picker" not working.  Not sure if I changed something.  Can anyone help?

Same issue here - no sampling ring. Latest version of Windows 10, latest version of Photoshop.

Hi
This question regards the sample ring. If the ‘show sampling ring’ box is checked, but is not displayed on the canvas, what changes need to be made in order to toggle the sample ring on.

Thank you for looking into it! Adding to the thread:

My eyedrop sampling ring disappeared after I updated to version 22.0.1

 

While in eyedrop tool, the sampling ring is still selected; and under performance, my graphics processor is also still selected.
