Holding Shift when picking a color from a gradient in a CMYK document samples the wrong color
Even though we can hold Shift to pick a color form an object with a gradient applied, it picks the color sampled from the screen — the RGB value.
It means if we are in a CMYK document and picking a color from a white-to-black gradient, the picked color would NOT be a shade of black, as expected, but an atrocious converted muddy RGB value.
This is not what it should do!

Should be a gray.

An error in the "eyedropper tool", in a CMYK document with a downed shift, gets the compound black from the "Gradient grayscale"
