I have been experiencing a bug in photoshop recently. for short my Eyedropper tool is very like to re-active. when I pick a color sample, I am sure to turn my brush tool on and successfully put down a stroke with the selected color, after that first one my software is... I mean sure it will, 70% times the eyedropper active after that and I ended up going with my second stroke with the eyedropper, no second line was born and an unwilling color replaced my needed one I need to eyedrop the color I want again to continue. when working on stuff like art it started to give me depression by extending the work and breaking the flow. I hope my problem is known so I can ask for help with this issue.

Hi @Ilovemilord go to Photoshop Preferences/Tools and disable "Spring Loaded Tool Shorcuts".

that's weird. do the thing you saying is the same as "the feature is in the newer version" or the "option to modify this feature is available in the newer version"
