Re: [Gimp-user] GIMP 2.8 per Windows, problem with the color picker

[Nik Omul <nik-omul yandex ru>]

Select Color picker tool and in Tool Options dockable dialogue toggle
Set_foreground_color instead of Pick_only. Now when you use eyedropper from
Change_Foreground_Color dialog window it will change foreground color to the
one you picked. This will help you restore your workflow til the bug is
fixed.
