For example when you draw something, like a rectangle, and then you try to draw something else over it, it instead moves the rectangle - failing to do the most basic task: being a paint program.&lt;p&gt;It does have some nice features, like the premade shapes and brushes, but those could have been added to the previous MS Paint application without breaking its UX.</text></comment>

Can&amp;#x27;t select secondary colour with right click&lt;p&gt;2. Needs way more clicks to get a filled Rectangle</text></comment>
