Colour picker tool not exiting and hijacking the mouse / keyboard.

[MKrabs]

The colour picker tool does not work properly and causes one major bug:

When you select the tool and left-click to select a colour it does register and pick the colour seen, but the tool never disappears:
the colour picker tool still remains active after exiting drawing mode and "hijacks" the mouse / most keyboard keys. Making it impossible to click with the mouse or send individual any alpha numeric key presses.

The same thing happens when you enter Drawing mode, choose the colour picker tool and exit drawing mode.

Shortcuts to select another tool (like polygon) do change the tool and let you draw again, but only in drawing mode, and do not remove the colour picker tool.

You are able to use key-combinations outside of drawing mode but not to type anything:
such as Super + Alt + D to re-enter drawing mode and use any keyboard input again

Only way to reclaim the mouse is to logout via a shortcut or shutdown by long pressing the power button.

Support for GNOME 42.x has been dropped since ab351358210092c3f977b8206afd3e2eab93d209.

Are you still encountering the same problem on newer versions of GNOME?
If yes, which version?
