Text tool: rendered on a white background while typing

[Maia Everett]

If text is being typed on a non-white background, a white rectangle is visible under it. It disappears when pressing Enter.
I think the tool surface should be cleared with a transparent rectangle (with alpha 0), not a white one.

this tool is copy from PDN. I am not sure if is a good behaviour or not.
Because blank area provide a better contrast but if you want to write text in blank, you will see nothing.

I think transparency would be good for real-time image editing because when you choose the wrong color sometimes text becomes hard to see.

Fixed in https://github.com/jpobst/Pinta/commit/133233fcf3aca0a947d849e6f6f9b05104563bf6.

We now draw directly on top of the existing image, so the text will look exactly the same as when it is finished.

Thanks for the report!

I have installed Pinta 0.7 on Windows XP sp3 and problem is fixed.
