    Hi Melina ,

    Thanks for reporting this issue, Illustrator team really appreciate this.
    As per attached screen shot , for the selected Text object your fill is below the Characters in appearance panel.
    Can you kindly move the Fill above the characters and change fill. This will hopefully resolve your problem.
    In order to identify the root cause , can you kindly provide us eyedropper setting snapshot ,you can find eyedropper settings by double click on eyedropper tool .

    Thanks
    Anish

    I think it's more of an unfortunate change in UX than a bug. Also it's not just text - you'll find the same comments around shapes. I've been an Illustrator user for 25+ years, and use the eye dropper several times a minute, for text styling and object colorizing. (I rarely use the appearance palette for much other than trying to troubleshoot why the eye dropper no longer functions as it did for the first 20 years of using illustrator). There must be something about the workflow that the Illustrator team somehow expects us to be doing differently., that has never been explained well in the several different forums where this is a topic. I can't imagine a tools function would be changed from something that just always-worked-as-expected, to... "it works like this... except... if it doesn't... then open up this lesser-used palette, and drag the order of things around, and/or go the little menu in the top corner and select Clear Appearance, and THEN it will probably work". ....what are we missing?
