Photoshop Eyedropper, Background

Solved

Hello! So today my problem is as follows:
I am on Photoshop CS5 and I need to quickly access the eyedropper and the color picker, so I use keyboard shortcuts
(Alt+right-click for the eyedropper and Shift+Alt+right-click for the floating color picker)
My problem is that my eyedropper is bugging and selects background colors (that is, the second color square) and is bugging in the same way when I use the keyboard shortcut to bring up the floating color picker.
I would like to know how to remedy this, by returning to the normal eyedropper which selects the foreground color even when I use the keyboard shortcut for the floating color picker! Thank you

Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 10.0.2

    I had the same problem and many others do too, and no one posts a response even though the problem is easily solvable.

    At the top right, in the color window, there are the two color squares.
    You just need to click the "foreground" square to make it active.

    Indeed, the "background" square is active, so the eyedropper will activate the background color instead of the foreground one!

      Sorry, I had seen Chrissart's post about not finding it, I must have read between the lines and saw March 8 thinking of 2013.
      I will be more careful next time ;)
