You are correct, the color picker using the FG/BG selection window picks from the display, in Windows the cursor changes to the generic windows pointer but still works, or is supposed to work. There is a bug report going back about this. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/1318 (not a problem in linux, at least my installation)
Difficult to say, this a 1 minute comparison, color picker tool (canvas only) then FG color picker Win 10 (VM) Gimp 2.10.22 https://i.imgur.com/llSOlRl.mp4
The only suggestion at the moment, reset the tool options in case something is stuck. Edit -> Preferences -> Tool Options Click Reset to Default Values and OK
Edit: It could be that, depending on work flow, the picker tool loses focus. This a different example using images open in Windows Viewer and picking from them. Requires reactivating the picker frequently. Another 50 seconds of my Win10 / Gimp 2.10 https://i.imgur.com/fia0we8.mp4
Quote:clicking anywhere outside the GIMP window just brings the new window to the front, like with any other cursor.
