When you want to spray Brush tip, you have to 
uncheck spray shape.



Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Check spray options.


Expected Results:  
Some option called Particle type and there all brush tip options + spray shape options.

between all of the options that you can pick in the Brush tip (auto, predefined, text), I don't know if we even need the spray shape setting any more. It seems like a very limited version of the brush tip settings.

Would it be ok if we remove the "Spray Shape" setting?

Without that option, you cannot spray images, can you? Only images that are defined as brush tip.

Can't we have this in the Brush Tip area for the Spray Engine (as a new tab, for example)? It would make more sense there, otherwise we have Brush Tip area which is not working if you don't uncheck the Spray Shape; meanwhile in the solution I suggested you need to choose one of the options: Default, Predefined Brush Tip, Text or this Spray Shape.

I'd also suggest changing the name of the tab if this solution is used; but I don't have any ideas. (Maybe something like: "Special Spray Shapes" or something?).

This solution won't be entirely confusion-free because then it would still contain Rectangle and Ellipse shapes which are repeated in Default tab but with more options. Maybe those are good fit for removal?
