Sets the selection to the mask of the current layer

Although I have posted this under other topics before,but I think it should be a bug.

When I wanted to use photo for image matting, I found some problems.

I selected the part of an image that I wanted to keep, then I clicked on the mask button in the layers palette and moved the whole thing around a bit.

I found some remnants of the original image on the edge of the image rectangle.

I then realized that this was caused by placing the mask background in white and filling only the currently visible area with black.

This is a problem not only for photo and Windows platforms, but also for design and the ios platforms.

Hey ghwxxx,

I see what you mean but, there are other ways to achieve a better result—such as using the Pen Tool to make your selection.
