The Bucket Fill settings are used when filling using drag-n-drop so this can be considered an unconsistency. > gradient fill can fill with gradients but not with one color or > with a pattern. it's Gradient Fill after all.... > The first thing to do is add a "fill with color" and "fill with pattern" > option to the gradient fill. > Then we can think about removing the bucket-fill (I don't use it). the Gradient Fill UI is already cluttered enough.

I don't see your point at all since, as I already said, the Bucket Fill tool works just fine with existing selections. Salut, Sven
