Every since I updated CDx6, Photo-Paint no longer allows for drawing or erasing in a straight line by clicking, pressing the alt key and clicking again. Instead a scale comes up that changes the brush opacity...What happened? I can't figure out what happened. See attached file. The red arrow indicates what comes up when alt is pressed. Any ideas?
I believe the modifier key(s) for this effect was changed to Shift+Alt with one of the service packs. Using the Alt key now allows you to change the brush transparency on the fly. There was another thread here regarding this, but I cannot find it now. I'll post a link if I can locate it.

Actually, that thread I mentioned in my previous was actually from the CDUG mailing list. It was posted by Corel employee, Tony Severenuk.
...Alt used to do a straight line.....given that people were adjusting transparency more than drawing straight lines we hooked a new control up to that will adjust transparency. Straight lines can be done with <shift>+<alt> T. --------------------------------
