Is this a bug or a feature?
I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature, since it sometimes can be used to nice effect.
When smearing with shift, I sometimes noticed fringing when smearing over transparent areas. What I have discovered is that it uses your current color when doing the blend, even if that color is not on the canvas.
Example:
Starting from all default settings with a fresh canvas,... enlarge the brush size a bit so things can be seen, and paint a red splotch. Now hold shift and smear it. Things work as expected here.
Now change the color to something else, a bright yellow for example. Without painting this color, smudge again and this yellow color will appear in the smudge area. This works for whatever color is current.
It's actually quite useful, but I'm trying to figure it out if it is intended or not, and if it is intended, is there a control that affects how much the new color is introduced? This is definitely not the same as the smudge chroma setting.
