Paint brush tool isn't selecting color

[KipV]

There is some strange stuff going on with the brush tool and the color picker. Sometimes when I try to set a color the selector circle will move back to white. It will force itself back without my involvement. Sometimes the color black I want will show up as I should be able to draw with it but when I draw nothing happens.

This didn't seem to be a problem with 2.5.

Hi @KipV,

Are you selecting colours by holding the Alt Key and dragging? If so, I've not been able to replicate this so far...

Can you upload a quick screen recording demonstrating the issue...

I do not use the alt key when I am in the color chooser window. Do I need to? Sometimes it lets me select and sometimes it doesn't I should also mention when I went back to Affinity 2.5 it occasionally happens there was well but not as often.

No doubt a silly question but when selecting a colour from the Colour Chooser, I'm assuming you have a Pixel Layer rather than an Image Layer selected in the Layers Panel...

Yes, it is a pixel layer. In this example I'll select the pixel layer which I want to add more brush strokes to and then go into the color chooser. Sometimes when I start to draw it will keep adding masks automatically even though I'm not sure that is what I want to do? I'm just trying to add more strokes on top of what I've already drawn.
