I don't know what you mean, the eraser erases to "transparent background", which results in transparency if there is an alpha channel, and in the background color if there is no alpha channel. I can't see anything unexpected here, I don't even see a "default" because that's how it always behaves. --Mitch _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
