    Squiggly Lines...

    Why do the fills exceed the lines when i make squares with squiggly lines? I did a side by side comparison of squiggly lines with normal fills and mine.

    Did you use the paint bucket or the brush?

    No, the bucket is the tool to use. If it's on the same layer as the lines, this shouldn't happen. What OS and version are you using?

    Yes, that's why I asked. It looks like a rectangle fill on a separate layer.

    I do know that XP has problems with MX. I don't know exactly what the issues are since I am a die hard and still use 98SE, and always will.

    You might want to look at this and bookmark it. The second heading is Troubleshooting. Maybe there is something in there about it.

    I scanned through it searching with diff keywords and found nothing relevent. However, would you mind posting a screenshot of a squiggly lined Rectangle??

    Thanks for taking the time to make that! But i should have clarified, i get the problem when using the rectangle tool... and whenever i fill a square even a square made with a pencil the fil sticks out.

    You don't fill anything with the rectangle tool. It's only for drawing lines or fills.

    Feh? You CAN but even if i draw a rectangle or square with NO fill and than fill with the bucket its uneven, but oh well, i'll deal.
