Ultra Key eyedropper not working on PC

After spending an hour on this, I decided to search and realize this has been a problem for many since around 2011.

I just installed the trial Premiere because I wanted to test green screening to see if PP worked better than my older editor.  When I use Ultra Key and use the eyedropper to select my green color, the color choice turns black (regardless of which color I pick with the eye dropper).  I'm *certain* I'm using Ultra Key and the eyedropper correctly.  In fact, if I manually change the color, the green screening works fine --- it's just that the eye dropper isn't working.

Can anyone offer a suggestion here?  thanks!!

oook, so I have 4 monitors on my system, some with different UI scaling. I've noticed similar behavior, where the color the eye dropper tool selects is not accurate. however, it is not always black. it is just a color that is half a screen away from where it should be.

Because I have a cursor click visualization script, I can see what part of the screen premiere is ACTUALLY sampling color from.

Try click+dragging your cursor from the eyedropper, all around the screen and watching the color change.

Still broken in the 2024 release! My primary editing setup doesn't have any issues across three monitors with the same scaling. But running a Surface Pro with high DPI connected to a vanilla 1920x1080 monitor breaks the eyedropper feature.
