eyedropper help

hiya, I've noticed recently that whenever I use the eyedropper tool it always has a habit of putting the colour I was selecting into the background colour on the two little boxes in the tools bar. So I have to then go and switch them round to bring my selected colour to the top.
I was wondering if there was any way to stop this happening as it slows me down a little bit having swop between them both.

cheers.

Did you try "Reset Tool" from the tool's preset's fly-out menu?

I have, but it's still giving me the same problems.

Or just go to the Colour Palette and click on the appropriate little square on the left. They reflect the squares in the Toolbox.
