Description: The eyedropper tool has a field to the upper left that is supposed to show the color of the pixel the mouse currently hovers over. Shown colors are incorrect and some areas of the drawing area seem to be inaccessible to the tool. Steps to Reproduce: 1. create drawing with one red box 2. select eyedropper tool 3. activate pickup mode (click on button in upper left corner of the eyedropper window) 4. move mouse over red box Actual Results: Color area never shows red but two or three colors between white and gray. Shown colors relate reproducibly to mouse cursor position but mouse cursor is never over shown color. Expected Results: Color area (right next to pickup button in eyedropper window) shows red color. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: This is a duplicate of bug 143070 where I could not enter detailed information (sorry, probably misused the bug tool).

Could trace this problem back to version 6.4.7.2, may be a lot older. Is reproducible both on retina and old school Mac.
I could reproduce it in iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020) Version: 7.0.6.2 Build ID: 144abb84a525d8e30c9dbbefa69cbbf2d8d4ae3b CPU threads: 12; OS: Mac OS X 10.15.7; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community Build ID: d3d15db10a4d75c48c57b3026376626dbd343c4a CPU threads: 12; OS: Mac OS X 10.15.7; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded But I could NOT reproduce it in iMac (27-inch, Late 2009) Non Retina 27-inch Version: 7.0.6.2 Build ID: 144abb84a525d8e30c9dbbefa69cbbf2d8d4ae3b CPU threads: 2; OS: Mac OS X 10.15.7; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: en-US (en_FI.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community Build ID: aa5c6d127559912ad60a63fbd972b78fb8f9691b CPU threads: 2; OS: Mac OS X 10.15.7; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: en-US (en_FI.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
Eyedropper tool worked fine today on a 13" non-Retina MacBook Air (2011) running OS X 10.13.4
Another confirmation on a 20.5" Retina Mac from 2019 running OS X 10.14.5 and another non-confirmation on a 20.5 non-Retina Mac from 2011 running OSX 10.11.6
Select the shape or text you want to assign a new color to. (To select multiple objects, press Ctrl and then click the shape.) On the Shape or Format tab, choose either Shape Fill (if you're filling a shape) or Text Fill (if you're filling text). Point to the color you want to apply, and then click. Color is immediately applied to the slide background. If you want all the slides in the file to have the same background, at the bottom of the Format Background pane, select Apply to All. If you've changed your mind and don't want to apply the color, at the bottom of the Format Background pane, select Reset Background. https://picos-school.com/
@picopa88: thanks for the instructions. Present problem makes selection of a color on the screen impossible. The behaviour is probably related to the Retina display. Unless you could work the eyedropper on a Retina Mac I am afraid you missed the point.
