Description: Upoon moving the eyedropper tool window, it is minimized to a few pixels width and docked to one side of the drawing area. This is very hard to spot, the palette just seems to disappear. Disabling and re-enabling it through the "Extras" menu restores the palette to its camouflage position. Steps to Reproduce: 1. select Extras -> Eyedropper tool 2. drag eyedropper window over the LO window Actual Results: Eyedropper window disappears. Note that the drawing area gets an extra few pixels to one side. They disappear if the eyedropper is hidden through Extras -> Eyedropper. These pixels, upon careful mouse positioning, can be expanded horizontally to reveal the palette. Expected Results: Eyedropper window follows mouse. Window is not minimized upon docking to one side of the drawing area.

I could reproduce it.

@birnbach has this worked in previous versions of LO?
I never tried it in previous versions of LO.
Where I can find Extras -> Eyedropper tool in LibreOffice?
Created attachment 187321 [details] screenshot of the menu entry in german locale
Open or create a drawing and use the menu bar under Extras, it is the 7th entry from top. If you cannot find the tool try using the built-in help with keyword "eyedropper" or whatever that is in your locale. In include a screenshot for the German version, here the keyword is "Pipette".
Ok. It's like in the title: Tools - Color Replacer. Can you install a newer version of LibreOffice and retest it? Maybe 7.5
I am testing with Version: 7.4.6.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 5b1f5509c2decdade7fda905e3e1429a67acd63d CPU threads: 6; OS: Mac OS X 13.3.1; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI: de-DE Calc: threaded Not that in order to verify this issue the eyedropper window may habe to be removed from the main window. I cannot reproduce the disappearing window issue any more. If somebody can confirm that the problem is gone we may want to close the ticket. However, please note that with persisting bug 143072 the eyedropper tool is still not useable on the Mac.
