      "Stroke"> [fill] ..... ??
      It doesn't seem to be a topic already mentioned, so maybe I'm the only one.
      I feel uncomfortable with "fiil" with "stroke".
      This can be seen all over VS.
      In PostScript terms, "fill" fills the area. "Stroke" is a line drawing.

      As an alternative, what about just the "color" or color chip pop-up here?

        @861475_VctSt Maybe the panel should use "Style" instead of "Fill" as a label? "Color" would also work, but it is not just solid colors that can be used to "color" the area of a stroke, but also gradients or tiling patterns.

          @vectoradmin Maybe 'Filling'? (Only for the swatch in the panel, obviously).

            How about "Paint"?

              There are many choices for the process to be applied to the stroke. (Currently 18).
              This is VS's unique "fill" feature.
              So, you are not "fill", new, be good also with a unique label name.

                @861475_VctSt ,

                It's not really all that far-fetched to consider that the entire panel is for the stroke, and the selected color is in fact being used to fill the stroke. While a different choice of word might be a bit better here, it's not actually wrong right now, and not all that bad.

                  Confirmed improvement.

                  😳
                  However, the "width" unit has become "meter".

                    @861475_VctSt I tested the width metric on Windows and Mac and could not replicate.
                    What are the selected Units in Document Setup -> General section?
                    Also, if written "1 pt" in the width field it should switch to pt.

                      Completely remove VS (by AppCleaner)
                      Not an overwrite update,
                      I reinstalled it.
                      As a result, it was fixed.

                      Thanks

                      It's getting more and more comfortable.
