In Affinity Photo 1.8.3.641, if you are creating vector shapes with a transparent color as the foreground and then switch to the Paint Brush Tool, the transparent primary color in the inkwell icon will switch to white, but the brush will retain the transparency from the previous mode, so when you try to paint, the brush will not paint white but be "off". You have to click on the small Transparency circle in the bottom left corner of the inkwell tool for it to display correctly. Display error is consistent on both the Tools Panel 2-column inkwell icon and the one in the Color Studio. Examples of the inkwell icon/tool:

There is still a problem with unreasonable switching of color when choosing Brush tool. Look at the video. On video i just trying to put colored line on the layer - but AP does not allow to do this in most straightforward way (choose color, switch to brush, start to draw). The same effect can be seen in other scenarios too. Imho: many of new users of AP start to use it from the very same thing. It`s the first intention to get a grip of new software - "draw a line of some color". So it may look funny (although dumping clear user intention without any reason is not funny at all, this is just plain not user-friendly), but actually this bug may give bad first impression of AP - "there is clearly something buggy, i can not choose color to draw a simple line" recorded in current beta (1.8.0.163) Screen_Recording_2020-01-10_at_11_42_23.mov

1. Create a new document 2. Got to Pixel Persona 3. Press the pixel tool: The selected color is changed to first. 4. Press Flood Fill Tool: The selected color is changed to second. The Color Picker is changing the colors too. How i stop changing the colors ? Just keep the selected color for all tools.
