So, the image editor has had some broken features for I think about two years now. Namely the pencil tool, and the rectangle tool.
Proper pencil tool (EA version 1.99.355)

Broken pencil tool (Every version after that, EA or otherwise)

The rectangle tools are also broken (try starting on a pixel, and going left)
This is frustrating because I've reported it numerous times since then, and received responses acknowledging it. Yet, it's been almost two years of versions and it hasn't been fixed. What really baffles me, though, is that I haven't seen anyone else mention it (Every other GM user I know has the same problem, and only notices once I show them).
I understand that not everyone uses the sprite editor, but for those who do, this renders it useless because it doesn't have a reliable workflow (sometimes lines break, sometimes they don't). I wish that more people realized this happens and complained about it so that it would be a big enough problem for them to actually fix. I think the base features of GM should be a pretty high priority, especially considering that new users are often going to go straight to the sprite editor, and when it's broken it's not a good first impression.
I don't want to use EA 1.99.355 for the next five years....
