Gradient colors not changing with color picker PS2024 (25.0)

[krcarson03]

My gradient tool is not changing colors when I use the color picker. It worked once and now seems to be stuck on those colors. I saw on this forum that this bug occurred in the previous Photoshop version, also. I removed all my preferences and had the same problem in the default settings. 

System: Mac, Ventura 13.6

App: Photoshop 2024 (25.0)

Same here.

To rerpair this rebuild your preferences file.

The setting I was looking for to fix the gradient tool comes up when you double click the gradient at the top of the screen (when the tool is selected). This opens a gradient window to change a number of settings. The option I needed was in the color selection dropdown - I needed to change from user color to foreground color. This allows me to change the color of the gradient wiht the eyedropper tool.

Thank you so much!!! This was my issue and now it's fixed!

That is really more a work-around than a fix, which is up to Adobe to take care of. Six months and a new release later, it's still broken.
