    Reported Edits done using r-click in Paint not saved

    1. Open a PNG file
    2. F12 to open Paint.
    3. Select pen in Paint.
    There are now two colours available for pen - left click uses the "front" colour, right-click uses the "back" colour.
    4. R-click to use "back" colour and make an edit by drawing a line
    5. Save.

    Expected result: Edit will be saved
    Actual result: Edit is not saved.

    Repeat Steps 1, 2 and 3
    4. L-click to use "front" colour and make an edit by drawing a line
    5. Save

    Edit is saved as expected.

    Just tried with a PNG with transparency:
    Right click colour: orange, left click colour: green.
    When I draw an orange line and a green line and then close Paint, the orange line disappears.
    If I do the same with a PNG without transparency, both lines remain.
    So it seems that the effect is caused by the transparency.
    Please ask Irfan if this is a bug and tell us what he answers.

      Not for me. I am editing a normal PNG file without transparency.

      1 Start IV
      2 Image > New
      3 Save as >>> fred.png
      4 F12 to start Paint
      5 r-click to choose red (other colour was white) and make edit
      6 Save.

      The edit is not saved.

      7 Open fred.png
      8 F12 to start Paint
      9 r-click to choose red (other colour was white) and make edit
      10 l-click to make edit with white
      11 Save.

      The file is correctly saved - ie using l-click after r-click seems to "lock in" the original r-click edit.
