This and the last version (24, 25) have a bug where I
cant use the color picker on grouped objects. Even shift clicking
doesnt work. It is very frustrating and used to always work
fine for me. (I am on MacOS Ventura, but as I said I have
the problem for a while now...)

Attached a GIF for further explanation.

any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

With grouped objects you have to hold down Shift when picking up colors for groups.

Thanks but as I mentioned SHIFT clicking does nothing for me.
I use Adobe Illustrator since more than 20 years and really depend
on it to work stable - an BUG like that reeeeaaallly bugs me, because
I slows me down so much.

Deleting preferences didnt help unfortunately

Sorry. I thought I had read that in your post but then couldn't find it when writing my answer.

I have just tried it and it works (Mac OS 14.6, version 29.0.1)

What could happen: there are several apps that interfere with the modifier keys. Can you Reboot and then launch only Illustrator and check again?

If that still doesn't work: try and boot into Safe Mode and check again.

@creativecontrasts by any chance did you reset your preferences? Clear the cache on your profile? Library - Cache

I had some Chrome and Adobe applications that kept on crashing my MacBook Pro. I had uninstalled my Chrome, and then I selected every single folder in that Cache folder and deleted. The Apple tech staff told me to do that. And it worked wonders!
