Revert To Clear Fill Default

[ASUNDER]

For some reason the save/revert default feature can't let me save a 1pt black stroke with a 'no-fill'.  It keeps going to this strange 95% white instead of 'clear' (no fill).
?  Can I not have a clear fill as default?

This doesn’t seem to be working for me either, see attached video, unless I’m not using it right because I rarely use it (the Help isn’t particularly clear to me as to what should be happening).

I think this might be an old bug (or regression) as it rings a bell from years ago.

Ya, that's the behavior I'm confused about.  Thanks for confirming it.
I'm glad that it's a bug and not something on purpose.  A bug can be fixed.

I can’t say whether it really is a bug or not – hence my use of “think” and “might”.

All I can say is that it's not working in a way that would seem useful to me, but I might not be using it properly.

You have to synchronise from selection - Edit > Defaults > Synchronise from selection

then save - Edit > Defaults > Save

to affect the stored default value that Edit > Defaults > Revert uses

1. Edit > Defaults > Synchronise from selection is a temporary setting for new objects you want to create using the settings applied to another object

2. You cannot just select an object and do save (Edit > Defaults > Save) to affect the stored default valued. This is a two-step process as defined at the beginning of my post

Ah, I think that’s the thing I’ve been missing, and that rings a bell also (I now vaguely remember a member of staff telling me this years ago). Ta.

Perfect.

I thought 'Save Defaults' was for the settings or something.  Come to think of it I probably should have investigated if I didn't know.
It's working good now, thank you.
