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.
