2.6 Annoying Pen Tool behavior

[street79]

I use Affinity Photo and take product photography,
I frequently use the Pen Tool to make accurate selections.

After updating to 2.6 the aforementioned tool has a new strange and annoying behavior which, moreover, is not possible (at least I think) to change.
Using the pen the stroke fills with the set foreground color, which means that I can't see how to adapt my curve, at this point I am forced to click on the icon with the crossbar to deactivate the foreground color which then has the secondary effect of making me lose the selected color.

I wonder if you know a way to disable this behavior...Thanks

The right hand end of the context toolbar of Pen Tool has toggles for 'use line style' and 'use fill'. If you see a pair of chevrons at the end of the bar then there are more controls which become available by clicking on the chevrons.

Very quick answer,

I saw the two buttons and in general they seem to solve the problem;
however, the Use line style button has a strange behavior:
when I click on it, the stroke becomes 1pt thick and the color black;
if I go to change the thickness to 0pt and no color the Use line style button automatically returns and if I click it again, the stroke becomes 1pt thick and the color black and this thing continues like this.
I don't know if this is an expected behavior...

Anyway, thanks for the collaboration.

I think the tool is reasonably reckoning that you must want a visible stroke if you deliberately enable ‘use line style’, therefore it sets a default stroke of 1 pt black instead of using the 0 pt no colour.

This makes sense to me.

Thank you...
