Chroma Keyer: bug?...

Yesterday, everything worked "normal" but today, when I use the eyedropper to select a color in the preview window (with the right track enabled on the T / L), I constantly get BLACK as "replacement" of what I've selected , even if I dropped a Solid Color Green on my second track to monitor what's happening with my keying.
IF I slide the opacity level (slider on left) of my first (and chroma keyed) track down to 98.8 %, everything seems to work normal. But why in hell does it get BLACK if I leave the opacity level of my track to 100% ???

OK !
Still, I don't get it.

I solved my problem by applying the Chroma Keyer at the EVENT level and it works perfect (I was applying it to the track).

BUT , since my event actually IS the first track (it's a master of a whole video clip) in itself, I really wonder why it reacts differently if applied at track or event level.

Very bizarre...
