Re: Draw module: Cannot use Eyedropper because of cursor
I've just tried to reproduce the problem but Eyedropper works fine for me: X and Y position and colour value (decimal and hexadezimal) are displayed. What do you mean with "garbage"?
Note: Only irritating thing for me that I found is that 0,0 coordinate is top left of the picture and most top left pixel has coordinate has 0,0. I verified with Corel PhotoPaint and it's the same there. Looks like I've worked with Corel Draw too often, coordinate system in Corel Draw is different but Corel Draw isn't a bitmap/pixel image viewer so it's comparing apples and oranges.

The shape of cursor isn't displayed correctly.

I cannot reproduce this issue (Intel UHD Graphics 630 @ Intel Core i7-9750H), …

Re: Draw module: Cannot use Eyedropper because of cursor
m.Th.: Thanks for the screenshot - a real camera shot of the screen.
Sounds much very like the QT problem that XnTriq found.

Right, good to that you (m.Th.) are around, again. Haven't seen budz45, Drahken, ckv, oops66, and some more for a while...
