Eyedropper with Shift held doesn’t pick the rendered stroke color unless clicked very precisely into path
If I have an outside stroke (thick enough for clarity, like in the GIF), I can’t use Shift-mode with the Eyedropper tool to pick the color from the actually rendered stroke — I have to click very precisely the path itself, or I get the fill color. Same with the inside stroke.
With a normal center-aligned stroke the half within the path gives the fill’s color, and the outside half gives the stroke’s one.
All three are wrong. Shift should force the tool to pick the color directly under the cursor, the one that is rendered.
Thanks to Oleg Krasnov for spotting this.
