In this case the 'Concentric Circle' tool was being used. Once drawn out you can colour every other row by selecting a colour. All well and good, you can move it around and resize it etc. Using the bucket tool you can colour individual rings, which I did.<br />
Using the transform tool to move the coloured ring set about resulted in a single ring detaching from the set (leaving the set unchanged). I was able to remove all the rings, recolour them with the bucket tool and remove them too - leaving the original untouched. Using the node tool I can reshape any given ring and detach it, again leaving the original intact.</p>
<p dir="auto">Using the grid shape, I tried to bucket colour the separate cells, but this coloured the whole square obscuring the grid, but you can move the coloured square off, leaving the original behind.</p>
<p dir="auto">I attach a picture of what I mean. Is this what is meant to happen?<br />

<p dir="auto">there is also another way to get what you want<br />
using a Circle, there are parametric Shapes in VectorStyler<br />
which offers some options via the Shape Panel<br />
Menu &gt; Panels &gt; Shape Panel</p>

<p dir="auto">When bucket filling just one yellow ring with a different colour, this ring becomes a separate item, which you can drag off and the item you 'filled' remains unchanged.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Now I got it, yes, this is the intended behavior, to create a new shape. This can be changed by enabling the "Remove Shapes" option in the context panel. If enabled, then the filled parts are removed from the original.</p>

The bucket fill creates a new shape.<br />
This is not what bucket fill should do, it should fill the existing shape with the desired colour, not create a new shape with the chosen colour.</p>

<p dir="auto">When bucket filling just one yellow ring with a different colour, this ring becomes a separate item, which you can drag off and the item you 'filled' remains unchanged.</p>
<p dir="auto">In the attached picture, the yellow circles are one item<br />
<img src="/forum/assets/uploads/files/1726416583506-untitled.png" alt="0_1726416582341_Untitled.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /> .<br />
I coloured each yellow circle in the colours you see.<br />
I was then able to move the yellow circles away from coloured circles, which are all separate items.</p>
<p dir="auto">I did not want this, I wanted a single item with different colour circles</p>
<p dir="auto">As you can see in the layers, all the circles I coloured have become separate items.<br />

It will fill all boxes, because the style is the same (outline, null fill).</p>
<p dir="auto">In the context panel, uncheck "Merge Styles", then it will fill the separate cells.</p>
<p dir="auto">Same would have happened for concentric shape also, if used the same colors.</p>
