Black mask does not fully erase layer?

Recommended Posts

Am I doing some wrong? I have a layer with an SVG image to which I've added a mask. But when I fill the mask with black (0,0,0), the image is still faintly visible. Shouldn't it be 100% erased?

Just to prove the mask is working, two images are attached, the first with 100% black mask, the second with a region of the mask painted white to expose the black drawing. I even tried putting an opaque white layer behind it all in case it was some weird transparency artifact.

This is on Windows 10, Affinity V 1.9.0.932

The Bug with the mask no longer working correctly is also on MacOS - and I can't fix it with a different color mode. 

Make sure you have a pure black color if you're in CMYK.

I have the same problem since a while now.
Using 100% black never fully erase the layer.
I need to "paint" 2 layers on top of each other to mask 100%.

Opacity and Flow are at 100%.
This should not be related to the color mode. 
It's very frustrating...
