Magic Wand Behavior/Settings in 4.0.3

[DJL]

Intermediate user here. I installed the 4.0.3 version. I use the magic wand to select & clear backgrounds from single-layer images. Now after I select an area with the magic wand & click delete, the background is filled with the current color on the color palette, and not the "checkboard" transparency I was used to in the old version of Paint.net. How do a change these tool settings for the magic wand to delete the selection, not fill it?

Opacity settings > Alpha. Figured it out.

What you are describing actually doesn't sound right. My magic wand does not fill anything, regardless of what color I have as my primary or secondary colors.

Magic wand + delete key on my keyboard = deleted area.

Magic wand + backspace key = filled area with primary color.

Paint bucket tool = left click fills area with primary color, right click fills area with secondary color.

 

This is how paint.net 4.0.3 functions for me.

Thanks for the response. Strange: when I use the magic wand to delete a background on an image, the background is filled in with black color (rather than the "checkboard" transparency. I am going to try an uninstall/install to see if that remedies it.

You using the Backspace key or the Delete key following selection with the wand? Backspace fills the selection with the primary color
