Spray Tool Apply Over (No) Transparent Areas Options Do Not Work Inkscape 1.4 Beta 2 Windows

Steps to reproduce:

  • open Inkscape
  • Draw any object (i.e. a shape or text) on the canvas
  • Draw another object to use with the Spray Tool. Select that object. Then select the spray tool.
  • Enable "Apply over no transparent areas
  • Paint selected object(s) with the spray tool over the first drawn shape and around the canvas
  • Spray tool paints everywhere, not just over "no transparent areas"

What happened?

Spray tool painted over transparent areas

What should have happened?

Spray tool only painted over areas where there's an object, doesn't paint where there is no object (a.k.a. transparency). (At least, I think that's what's supposed to happen based on tutorials I've watched/articles and forums I've read).
