Problem with Eyedropper tool on text
Illustrator 30.0 on Mac Ventura 13.7.8
When I try to use the Eyedropper tool on a text, it only samples the object's top Appearance, not the text's at Character level.
In the sample video, the characters should become grey, with the text object having a white outline behind. But you can see it only picks up the white outline and not the character colour.
My Eyedropper tool is set to pick up everything (all boxes are ticked).

I tested the shared 8904_250-f02-fbl-Charges.ai file, and this it what it does for me in both GA 30.0 and Beta 30.1.89, on Windows 10.
With both Appearance options checked for Eyedropper, it picks and applies the individual character’s fill of the grayish source text to all the currently green characters of the target type object...
Are you sure you have the exact same tool’s settings?
