RESOLUTION

Following are some possible workarounds:

• Change the display color resolution.



• Use one of the other tools, such as the pencil, the brush, or the airbrush.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

1. Insert a Cursor Resource.



2. In the color palette, select the Black color.



3. Select the pencil tool, and draw an empty circle.



4. In the color palette, select the White color.



5. Select the fill tool (looks like a paint can), and try to paint inside the circle. You'll notice that nothing happens. If you click the circle border, you can paint, but you can't paint the background pixels.
