I’ve just bought Expression Blend 4 but I’ve encountered a strange problem: the Fill brush doesn’t seem to be showing up in the properties section whenever I click on a path object (Stroke and OpacityMask brushes do.) I can still change the fill property via the XAML editor but this isn’t terribly convenient. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to correct it?
