The “Erase Area” function does not work
T
Tan Mockingbird
Select the picture → click “Erase area” → select the desired area with a lasso, a magic wand, and so on → the “Erase” button is activated, but is not erased to a transparent background, but is replaced with another pattern that the program considers most appropriate. The AI assistant says that a “Scissors” icon should appear to remove the pattern to a transparent background, but it doesn't exist!
In addition, if, after selecting an area, you call up the context menu and click “Cut” in it (the scissors icon), then the entire drawing is deleted - which is normal, because these are different scissors - but the trouble is that if you press “Ctrl+z” after deleting the picture, the picture returns without any selection, and the cursor freezes in “magic wand” mode until the page reloads. A WILDLY INFURIATING GLITCH.

Hi,
Thanks for the detailed report.
On "Erase area" not producing a transparent result: this is actually expected behavior rather than a bug. Erase area is designed to intelligently regenerate the selected region with new content that blends into the image, rather than cut a transparent hole. If you're looking for a transparent result specifically, the Background Remover tool is the one built for that.
On "Cut" removing the whole image: also expected. Cut (from the right-click menu) removes the entire selected image/object, separate from Erase area's region-based tool.
On the Ctrl+Z behavior after Cut: We will investigate this report further.
Thanks again for your detailed feedback!
