Color picker picks a color behind the OK button
When using the eyedropper in Color Picker, when you click OK it samples the color behind the OK button instead of the one selected with the eyedropper.

I experienced this in a specific scenario:
- Select shape
- Double-click Fill icon to open color picker dialogue box
- Use the "pick color from object" eyedropper, select a color from the canvas, clicking "OK" does not remove the eyedropper's active state before committing the color to the object(s), instead it closes the dialogue box and then selects the color behind the "OK" button at the time of the dialogue box being open.If you go to de-select the eyedropper "pick color from object" tool it selects the color behind the dialogue box, making this option impossible.

This happens on mac and it's so frustrating. I can press enter sure but really why is the color picker so buggy. Just pick the color and that's it.

Oh, it looks like Ai interprets dragging of the dialog with this Eyedropper button picked as a desire to sample the color... while still allowing to drag the window.
It doesn’t do it for me on Windows though...
Nice catch.
