Erase blend mode causes VS crash each time selected

[Boldline]

Testing out the new "erase" blend mode, it would crash VS each time I attempted to use it. Seems to happen with any kind of shape. I tested it three times with different objects and each time it crashed - I did not check the other blend modes to see if they also have a problem

Here is a video of that

@Boldline Could not replicated here. Tried with CMYK on MacMini also.

@Boldline There are also some other issues found with the Eraser mode. Will be fixed ASAP.

@VectorStyler I'm glad you were able to solve my issue and other issues as well!

@Boldline The Erase mode crash occurs when the Transparent Backdrop is disabled in the Display Options

This will be fixed, but without Transparent Backdrop, the non-isolated layers / groups will not render the Eraser blend mode in the future (transparent backdrop is needed for this feature).

@VectorStyler I'm glad you found the issue! I'm trying to remember why I turned off the transparency backdrop. You mentioned its in the display options - but what section is that? I am looking in the preferences for it now

Ok I remember now - I was thinking of the preferences section because it related to my custom preferences, but it's tied to the display options panel

I had turned this feature off because of the white outlines it was creating when I was working on designs - vectors that sat over the top of others would have that thin white unwanted line....
