#Paint Bug?

Larry;
What you say is of course true. Perhaps I should refer to this as a
"feature" of AmigaBASIC, rather than a bug. Still, it makes life
difficult, as one does not always know what is the border color of an
object to be filled (as in a paint program, for instance). I was further
confused by a reference in Halfhill and Brannon's "Advanced Amiga BASIC"
book, p47
"We've found some seemingly enclosed figures still permit paint to
escape. This apparent bug is not Amiga BASIC's fault; it seems to
be at the operating system level and afflicts most programs that
use flood fills."
There is a work-around solution to the problem of using PAINT to fill
objects with unknown border colors. It involves using the ROM Kernal FLOOD
tool. See message number 85766 for more details.
