Hi. I'm working thru a tutorial for the Spray Tool and am not getting the result I'm expecting. The Eye Open and Eye Closed Icons don't seem to have any effect. When I spray a group of selected objects over a green Rectangle object with only the Eye Open icon enabled I'm expecting to see sprayed copies only within the Rectangle. When the Eye Open is deselected and only the Eye Closed icon is enabled I expect to see the subsequent sprayed copies only outside the rectangle. The result I'm actually getting is the sprayed copies everywhere I spray regardless of which icons are enabled. I
I'm using a version 1.4 on a Windows 11 computer. I've restarted the machine, re-launched Inkscape and finally uninstalled Inkscape and re-installed the program. Is there something that needs to be turned on or a mode requirement that I'm missing to get these two icons to function? Thanks for your help.

Might be this bug: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/5275
I'll add this convo to the bug report.
Thanks for the reply. If I'm understanding the comments my issue is a bug which will be cured in v. 1.4.1?
Looks that way to me.
Cool. Thanks again for the info.
