Pencil auto-close setting always fills

[Bryan Rieger]

On the iPad version of Designer 2.1 if you are using the pencil tool and use auto-close the shape will fill regardless if you have use fill active or not. Even when my fill colour well in the colour panel is transparent, the shape always auto-closes and fills to black. This should just auto-close the shape without filling, unless the use fill toggle is active in which case it should fill the shape with the colour specified.

Update: I can sometimes get it to work as expected. It's difficult to reproduce, but once it happens it kinda sticks for a while. I think it might have something to do with a weird, and occasional disconnect between the colour panel colour wells, and the colour well associated with the pencil tool on the toolbar. I've had a number of oddities with the colour panel colour wells and colour toolbar colour wells not being in sync, or being unable to be set (it just jumps back to whatever colour was set before).

Workaround: Toggle 'use fill' to on and set the fill colour well in the toolbar to transparent. This at least seems to work consistently.
