My question was, what is the purpose of this third shape that is created when two shapes overlap? It does not make sense.
I understand what Moho does and what I can do to avoid it.

The paint bucket in Moho is primarily used to create new shapes from existing curves. The standard way to change colors of existing shapes is to use the select shape tool and style window. But if you click and drag with the paint bucket, you can select the exact shape you want. Just drag until you ...

To fill anything there has to be an object first: a shape. If you want to fill an area between several overlapping shapes, it is still a gap full of nothing. When you click that gap to fill it, Moho creates the necessary shape and fills ist. That's the way it works. I know how it is. When objects o...

Because that's the way Moho works: only Fills and Outlines can be coloured, and a fill requires a defined shape to exist. It's fine in MS Paint, but here in Moho I have an object that I want to fill with the new color, and it's useless to me and annoying that an additional object is created when ob...

Since 14.4: The paint bucket now works with single shaoes as expected and as is standard in other software. But not yet with overlapping shapes. When I fill one of the overlapping shapes, a third shape is created at the overlapping point. Why?. I know that you can select the shapes to give them a di...

Another usage: Imagine a long, thin polygon that has been twisted until it overlaps itself. The overlapped part loses its color. Paint Bucket can turn the no-color space into a shape, the same color as the other shape. Ok, I see. That makes sense. Thank you. The Paint Bucket works in the same way i...

When changing a shape's color, use Select Shape and the Style Window. This is the correct way to do it in Moho.

I've been doing it this way since Moho 14. In 13.5 it still worked with the Paint Bucket without duplicating the shape.

Thanks for the answers, but I still don't see the point. What is the reason for the Paint Bucket duplicating the shape if it was created with Fill Stroke or Fill Shape? I still don't see an application for this. So, why does the shape have to be duplicated by the Paint Bucket? What do you need it fo...

If you mean the "paint bucket" (default shortcut P), that's how it's intended to work. If you want to fill a shape: activate the "Create Shape" tool (default shortcut U); select the points you want to form the shape;, choose "Fill", "Stroke" or "Both&quo...

This behavior is neither described in the manual nor in the tutorial. I also don't know what sense it makes for the paint bucket to duplicate a shape. This also works with CTRL-C, CTRL-V. To get the paint bucket to work as expected I have to switch off Auto Fill and Auto Stroke when creating the sha...

The fill tool does not fill, but creates a new shape with the selected color.How can I avoid this?


Solved: It's not a bug, it's a feature.

The paint bucket should fill the shape but not duplicate it. Other programs only fill. In Moho the paint bucket is not useful for me. I use other possibilities of Moho.

Why should the paint bucket duplicate the shape? I see no reason. Do you?

I noticed the following in the first chapter of the tutorial. I wanted to fill the shape and when I use the paint bucket it duplicates the shape. Why? According to Moho's support this should be the case but I don't see the point. Why should the shape be duplicated? I use "https://www.deepl.com/...

I am looking for a list where I can see which bugs have been fixed.
