Technically this is not a bug but IMO it should have kind of similar treatment.
Pencil and Eye dropper tools look too similar to each other and it is too easy to click the wrong option by mistake. (which happened to me tens of times). Especially when you have high resolution and they are small on the screen.
I would suggest replacing eye dropper tool icon with something that is less likely to be mistaken for a pencil.
E.g. removing colors from it and making it kind of transparent might be good idea.

Here you can check how they look in other image editors (Affinity is though also confusing and IMO they should do the same):

Re: Draw tool - pencil and eye dropper took too similar
It is much better than current one but still the shape is too similar.
I modified it a little bit to a shape which I believe is different enough.
I took one pixel with eye dropper and just duplicated it so colorwise / edges it is probably not production quality and if you decide to go on something like that it would probably need polishing or remake.
