Short description of error
created fill material in greasepencil did not have a stroke selected, was unable to "erase", edit, or otherwise remove fill material. Computer stalled when attempted removal of fill areas. Fills not assigned to "fill layer" but were in strokes layer.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible).

create blank canvas.
create new material "fill" with stroke unchecked. set alpha below 50%.
use any tool to apply the material.
try to remove it using the eraser, or select.

thanks for a great program, First glitch.
S.F.

note that to remove "fill" you need to erase the "strokes" not the "fill"
A "fill" is in reality a "filled strokes".
Cannot reproduce here.
Could you please share your .blend file just before step (4)?
and please test with the daily build from builder.blender.org .

thanks for your help, Great application, but not so user friendly. Greasepencil is amazing, the written documentation is not, have a lot of trouble finding the menus that are referred to since like this image, if you didn't know where it was, you wouldn't be able to find it with just a pic of the actual menu. I have most difficulty even finding the main menu in the tree, since the icons are small. There's no context like Menu >submenu > submenu to help. Is there some way you could implement a search for the menu function?? Thanks for your quick response, great team, and will be sure to donate to Blender. SF
