Indesign Eyedropper tool is not working Indesig 2023 - 18.5 x64

Question

It doesn't work on text attributes and even colors and, yes, I doubleclick the tool to get preferences. Nothing works properly.

And you confirmed that there isn't an empty frame on top of the object you are trying to sample from?

When InDesign begins to behave erratically, consider rebuilding your cache and preferences. Doing so will solve most of these issues, and the link below explains both the keyboard technique (which works most of the time) as well as the more thorough approach to deleting (or renaming) your cache and preferences, which tends to resolve the more stubborn issues not rectified by the keyboard approach.
