Why doesn't the eraser erase cleanly?

Thank you.

Click the brush in the layers panel to see if there are 2 different brushes in use?
The eraser and the regular brush can have different brushes applied with different settings.

Thanks. I don't understand the concept for this. This video show how the eraser work on V.2.3.1

When you are using the Eraser you have "Wet edges" set!

@PaulEC Oh! Thank you very much.

Like said, one can have different settings per brush for both eraser and painting.
So always make sure to select the brush you want and check it's settings including the wet edges and the protect alpha and even the tolerance and/or the blendmode options.

Wet edges once again. It turns itself on when you go through brushes and doesn't turn itself off. Very annoying when using painterly brushes and moving to mask. So yes, have to keep an eye on that setting... at least it's in the context toolbar and can be turned off easily.
