Question about vector fill tool, the tooltip, and the Wacom pen.

[Hoda999]

I noticed something peculiar about the vector fill tool in Affinity Designer... BTW I love the vector fill tool and I use it all the time.

As I hover over my selected shapes/lines with my mouse the tooltip is a bucket and all the target areas (to be filled) become highlighted. As I hover over these same areas with my pen (using my Wacom tablet) the tooltip becomes a black arrow and nothing gets highlighted... Hmmm...
With all other affinity drawing tools, the tooltip behavior is the same across the mouse and the pen. I am using MacOS and Wacom Cintiq 16...
Did anyone else notice this or is something wrong with my pen/tablet... or is there a particular setting that I need to adjust.
I really like the hover highlight feature, but I don't want to keep switching to the mouse to use it. 

Please advise... Thank you...

ps: I tried to make a screenshot, but the highlight feature I want to show does not appear in the screenshot.

Yes this is very confusing for me as well. The Tool's icon change was not quite thought through. I was sort of expecting the bucket to get tilted, not replaced by an arrow.

Hi @Hoda999,

I've just got this logged with the Developers, as I'd expect the highlight function of the tool to still work.

I've left a link on the report back to this thread, so we can update you when it's been resolved
