Hi @Iztok,

Your document uses a textured image brush for the object stroke, so when you have no colour set on the textured stroke the base image texture colour(s) are still visible. I've confirmed with QA this is by design. I've been informed that If the existing functionality were to remove the outline when no colour was set, it wouldn't be possible to assign a colour to them in the first place.

As an alternative workflow, assign the textured image brush a colour and set the opacity to 0%.

Hi @Iztok,
If you don't want the texture visible (or set it's color to none) why are you giving the object a stroke in first place? Can't you simply remove the stroke?

OK I now how, I only mentioned it if maby is a bug

If I set colour path to none, I expect it to be zero, not black preview, if I set ordinary line 30 point and set colour to none then is none, then why see brush preview, it is bug

No, the example uses a Textured Intensity Brush, not a Textured Image Brush.

In the case of a Textured Intensity Brush, RGB black is being assumed when the stroke colour is None and the stroke blending mode (see Appearance panel), distinct from the object blending mode, is the default Normal.

QA have given a response based on the incorrect identifying of the brush type. I'm not saying the behaviour of an intensity brush is not "by design", just saying that the QA response is about image brushes, not an intensity brush as used in the example.
