Hi There, this one has been bugging me for a while - anyone know how to fix?

 

Title says it all, with a brush selcted, option click now sets the background colour insted of the freground colour - the eyedropper tool itself has always worked this way but not the brush tool.

 

Does anyone know how to get the previous behvior? It now takes extra clicks.

 

Any help much apprecitaed. Cheers, Ben

OK, finally found it but you have to have the Color panel open (not the colour switcher on the main toolbar).

See attached, the foreground colour has to be selected or OPT-Click will set the background colour.

 

Not sure if this is new behaviour or if mine got switched somehow – make sure your color panel looks like the attached with the foreground colour selected...

Mine works just fine, try resetting your preferences. The behavior has not changed.
