Hi there!

 

The Eyedropper tool cannot color groups. That's pretty annoying. It worked before. The attached video shows this clearly. I classify this as a bug. Please correct as soon as possible. The price I pay monthly requires that. All best!

The Eyedropper tool CAN color groups. So I would suggest you don't have a regular group. Try Expand first.

The Eyedropper tool CANNOT color groups. As you CAN see in the video. 

 

I turned a text into a vector object. Tried to color it, doesn’t work. Expanded the object. Tried to color it, doesn’t work. Ungrouped the object. Tried to color it, doesn’t work. 

 

This is an action I’m using for years, almost intuitively. Now it just doesn’t work.

I can assure you it does. I just did it!

One of your items may be corrupt.

Try resetting your prefs.

Telling me it does work and “it’s corrupt“ doesn’t help. Anyway… I'll guess I have to get used to have two more steps to finish the work.

As @Ton Frederiks has said, are you able to share a file for us to inspect to see if we can see the same issue. Would be good to see if we can help resolve this for you.
