System Information
Operating system: macOS-12.6-x86_64-i386-64bit 64 Bits
Graphics card: AMD Radeon Pro 5500M OpenGL Engine ATI Technologies Inc. 4.1 ATI-4.8.101

Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.5.0 Alpha, branch: master, commit date: 2022-11-15 05:43, hash: 2a41cd46ba
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Short description of error
I have intermittent inability to fill simple shapes that appear completely gap-free and closed. There appears to be no set of steps to fix the issue when it occurs.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Open attached blend file.
Switch to Draw Mode
Make sure the layer Fills is selected
Choose the Fill tool.
Choose the Solid Fill material
Attempt to fill the single elongated "s" shape on frame 1.
For me: No fill successful. Reports "Unable to fill unclosed areas"
Try different settings of Gap Closure, zoom level, or anything else. Same error.
Check all points on shape: They seem fine to me.

The problem of your file is that your ignore transparent value is 1.0. If you change to 0.1 it will work.

Anyway, I have seen is not clear this option and if you disable the value would be not used.

@mendio I think we need review this panel because the ignore transparent and the factor has some problem in the UI.

Thank you so much for the solution! The UI is definitely confusing.

@mendio I have changed the code to ignore the transparent only if the checkbox is enabled. The old code was doing the check of the transparency when the checkbox was disabled, so I think now is working as expected.

IMHO we can close the report with the last commit. In the next version we can consider redesign these two options of the fill tool.
