1.11.2 Color picker's anti-human design flaws
The "Draw-Color Picker" selects colors into a secondary color slot instead of the currently used color slot, requiring manual switching of the color slot after each color picker application, which is unreasonable.

I cannot reproduce
Eyedropper always sets Foreground color
try to reset your settings by renaming xnview.ini file

Suggestion (as in some softwares) :
Left-Clic ► Foreground color
Right-Clic ► Background color
(simple et efficace)

it works like Photoshop, GIMP, Krita, and Affinity Photo, not like MS Paint or Paint.NET
use shortcuts:
X - swap Foreground/Background colors
D - reset Foreground/Background colors to black&white
I would
- add 'I' shortcut to Eyedropper, like in Photoshop
- activate Eyedropper via Alt in Pen tool
