Comment 4 for bug 1468090

Apologies for the long delay in my reply.

I tried what you suggested:

"double-click the pencil tool icon in the toolbox. That will bring up the preferences for that tool and you can change it to "Last used style"."

When I do that, it causes the line I draw to be filled in with a color, even though it does keep the last used line color. And I do have the "Fill" selected to "None". So that is not the behavior I am looking for.

The second suggestion, "shift+click" to select the swatches, that is good for me. Thanks for that 2nd tip.
