Eyedropper - Alt Clicking Text to Text Doesn't Apply Stylings
Windows 10 Pro 22H2 19045.6456
Illustrator 30.4 (64-bit)
When text object 1 is selected, using the Eyedropper tool and holding Alt to left click onto text object 2 (to apply the font style color paragraph style etc.), doesn't apply the stylings of text object 1 at all.
It does 1 of 2 things I found:
1) it's applying the text stylings of whatever current text settings are visible from the Character panel plus it will also apply no fill/stroke color to the text.
2) it will literally do nothing and no change happens, no matter how much you spam alt left click onto text object 2.
I've opened new .ai files to test and it keeps happening.
Yes I've checked eyedropper settings and all the boxes are enabled.

Alex, what happens if you disable both Appearance options in the Eyedropper Options dialog?
I yet to test this in older builds, but here’s how it looks when I try.
Since the look of characters (fill and stroke, colors) is applied to characters themselves, not the type object as a whole, with these options checked the tool applies the parent’s appearance (no fill and no stroke), to all the children of the object clicked... it looks rather odd, agree, Appearance is a tough beast. I should test it more.
