When drawing a shape it used to work to open the shape properties, click on the fill box, and then select a color. (the default comes as no fill)
Sometime in the last few versions, it has changed so that when you click on the fill box in properties, select a color then return to the properties box, the fill is still set at no fill.
This used to work. You can click on the stroke box and select a color and it changes as you would expect. Just the fill box does not correctly change the fill color.
How do we change the fill color now?
