Photoshop eyedropper sets background colour, not foreground

photoshop

Solution

Wow - ok it was easy. Go to Window > Color, then ensure the foreground colour is the selected one. There's a really fine, almost un-noticable line around the one that is selected. Mine was set on the background colour.

Problem

I've been putting up with this for probably too long. For some odd reason, when I used the Photoshop CS5 eyedropper tool, it sets the background colour - which is really annoying. I've never experienced this in all my years of using Photoshop. Each time I set a colour, I'm forced to then use the x keyboard shortcut to swap the background/foreground colours. How do you get the eyedropper tool back to the default setting? (without re-installing :)
