Color picker working incorrectly

Question

In Adobe Illustrator they added a color pick tool inside the color pallet dialog box which is great, so we can now pick a color from a different place on the screen… Only problem is that after a color has been selected the picker stays active, so anywhere you click it picks that color, even if you want to click on the OK button it will sample the grey of the button and overrides the color that was picked in the first place!!? Photoshop has been using this same type of color picker for years - it’s as if Illustrator doesn’t belong to Adobe and the developers started from scratch in learning how a color picker should work!?

In Adobe Illustrator, they added a colour picker tool inside the colour palette dialog, which is a great addition. Now we can easily pick a colour from anywhere on the screen.

The only issue is that after selecting a colour, the picker stays active. So every click keeps sampling a new colour. Even when you try to click the OK button, it picks up the grey from the button and replaces the colour you already selected.

Photoshop has handled this much better for years. It feels like Illustrator's version still needs a small improvement.
