      I think I FINALLY found the way I keep getting a stroke added to my pencil tool fills even after I remove it (set stroke to "no stroke" ) from the contextual men bar.

      If I create a shape with fill and no stroke with pencil tool and then continue to add shapes to the artboard, it works as expected. If I then add a stroke to the settings or add a stroke to the existing selected shape, future shapes will also have a stroke - this is also expected.

      If I remove the stroke from the selected object - it will create new shapes without the stroke - as expected. but if I remove the stroke and then DESELECT and remove the stroke option in the contextual menu, it will still keep making new shapes WITH the stroke I removed!

      Ideally, if I remove the stroke from the contextual menu while using the pencil tool, even when I deactivate any selected shapes on the screen, any new ones should reference the current settings of the fill and stroke, not retain the prior settings

      This second video I made to clarify things further shows another bug I run into as well as another example of what was described above. The bug occurs at the 6 second mark and goes to the 13 second mark. I tried to remove the pink as the stroke by clicking on the "no stroke" swatch box and nothing changed until I closed the stroke panel I was accessing from the contextual men and it was updated then.

        I will try to fix this.
