New color picker/Eye Dropper stopped working

Hi!

For some reason, the new color picker stopped working initially in one file, and then in all files. Specifically, the ability to select a color token is no longer available. Can you help me understand what I might be doing wrong?

I’ve already tried reloading the file, restarting Figma, and switching between interface versions.

I really enjoyed using the new eyedropper tool that was released in mid-November. However, today I noticed that my eyedropper seems to have reverted to the old version. It now uses the magnification circle in the upper right corner and doesn’t allow me to hold Shift to pick color variables instead of hex values.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to get back to the new eyedropper tool UI? As far as I can tell, everything else is still using the updated UI3.

Any insights or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Same here. I also tried clearing my cache and restarting in the desktop app.

Same issue here. The new version was so much more useful.

Hi. After the Figma update, the color picker has reverted to its default state. It can no longer copy styles or color codes. Clearing the cache and restarting doesn’t solve this issue.

Agreed (0= I’d be very glad to get that buffed color picker back. Looks like sort of schadenfreude from Figma developers, they gave us a great tool just to get it back after we appreciated that tool improvement. I’m upset.

Yep, same here, reverted back to the old UI.
