Steps to reproduce:

Invoke the eyedropper tool.
Hover the mouse pointer anywhere in the current web page.
Scroll the page (e.g. using the scrollbars or a mouse scroll wheel).

Actual results:

Once the page is scrolled, the zoomed close-up provided by the eyedropper (and the pixel colour in the centre) is no longer correct for what is under the mouse pointer. It remains whatever was there when the eyedropper was originally invoked.

Expected results:

The eyedropper and centre pixel colour should update when the page is scrolled to show what is currently under the mouse pointer.

We are trying to prevent scrolling when the color picker is active, because our technical implementation requires the page to remain identical while picking a color (we take a screenshot of the page when the picker starts and use that to pick the actual color).

Same issue as Bug 1377755, closing as duplicate, but moving the other Bug to defect.
