Description amdfan12 2025-11-29 17:51:37 UTC 
SUMMARY
When taking a screen shot, the arrow, line, highlighter and freehand tool have an option to turn the "Stroke" off. This causes the tool to completely stop working, making the stroke option on these particular tools useless and likely to cause user confusion and aggravation if accidentally clicked. The stroke option should be removed on these tools to improve user experience.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open spectacle
2. Click highlighter tool
3. Uncheck "stroke".

OBSERVED RESULT
- Tool stops working

EXPECTED RESULT
- A pointless option that just makes the tool stop working should not be an option on those tools.
