System Information
Operating system: macOS-13.5-arm64-arm-64bit 64 Bits
Graphics card: Metal API Apple M2 Max 1.2

Blender Version
Broken: version: 4.0.0, branch: blender-v4.0-release, commit date: 2023-11-13 17:26, hash: 878f71061b8e
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Short description of error
Eyedropper doesn't show up when pressing the shortcut E in Texture Paint and Image Editor.
I also checked the old shortcut S but it didn't work either.

Shortcut S works in 3.6 on the same mac.
I found someone mentioning the same problem in Blender Community Discord, so it shouldn't just be on my computer.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
In the default file:

Go to Texture Paint mode.
Select Draw Tool.
Press E for eyedropper.

Thank you.

Hi, as far as I understand, eyedropper is invoked if e is pressed over color property

I also checked the old shortcut S but it didn't work either.

Perhaps you are looking for sample color operation?

Shortcuts have changed, see https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Reference/Release_Notes/4.0/Keymap

Sampling the color is now Shift X

@PratikPB2123
Hi, Pratik.
E works perfect. Thank you.

@lichtwerk
Thank you for the information, Philipp.
Shift X works but it seems not possible to pick a color from other windows. (E works just fine.)

@lichtwerk
Can you tell me if being unable to pick a color from other windows with shift X is an expected behavior or a bug though?
I will make a new issue if it's a bug.

@Hide-Ori - Can you tell me if being unable to pick a color from other windows with shift X is an expected behavior or a bug though?

That would be expected behavior on Mac. Picking colors from outside the Blender window should only work well on the Windows platform for now. Fairly certain it works now on Linux, but requires a keypress to confirm. But, unfortunately we don't yet have working functionality for this on the MacOS platform.

@Hide-Ori - but shift X doesn't even work in other windows (areas) inside Blender, which shortcut E and clicking Eyedropper icon do.

Ah. This report was not very explicit about that with just the "Not working", "Press E for eyedropper. thank you". Personally I would make a new bug report about this, adding much more information for the steps to recreate and what is expected.

@Hide-Ori

I am hoping you can test some builds that allow selecting colors outside of the Blender window on Mac. You can download the builds here: https://builder.blender.org/download/patch/PR115187/

Comments on the functionality, good or bad, should be added here: #115187
