Stop Eyedropper Scrolling

Question

Hello to all

Load image into photoshop

zoom in very very close, so that outer edges of document can't be seen

select brush tool

hold down ALT - it now switches to eyedrooper temporarily while you hold it down

drag cursor outside of document and ontop of any *docked* panel (layers panel, brushes panel, etc - ANY panel you have visible in your workspace - but panel MUST be docked

now as cursor is ontop of docked panel, photoshop document begins to scroll away

how can we stop this scrolling from happening???

Googled this issue in June 2020 using version 21.1.3 — this is still a problem. It's impossible to sample a color from outside of the active window because it keeps scrolling forever.

Even more so because Overscroll now MUST be turned on for Rotate Canvas to function properly. Otherwise, when you're zoomed in the canvas jumps around wildly when trying to rotate it. (I found out about the Overscroll setting fix via a different forum post.)
