... The steps for reproducing are:
- Create empty file.
- Create a rectangle ( or any other shape )
- Open Fill and Stroke menu
- Select Stroke tab.
- Grab color picker tool.
- Select any color in the document.
What happens: The fill colour becomes the one picked with the tool.
What I think it should happen: Since the stroke tab is selected, the stroke colour should become the one selected with the tool and not the fill colour.
So I am missunderstanding Inkscape or is it a real bug ?
Inkscape is supposed to work like this (use Shift to set the stroke). If you feel the other behaviour is better, feel free to try and make the argument (and/or a patch). The main issue is that basically Inkscape really doesn't have any way of selecting stroke and fill separately. The stroke and fill are two properties of a single shape. The gradient editor does handle this a little bit differently, maybe it can inspire you (or anyone else).
