Hi! So, whenever I try to add a new color to my palette, I get a bug where it draws a black frame around my current layer, as shown.

 ![03](https://community.aseprite.org/uploads/default/original/1X/e26296bb716857dd2cb50173f0ffa1db7eb792ab.png) .

The same box is created when trying to save the individual layers as PNG images.  
This a recent bug that occurred both in 1.1.13 and 1.2.  
If this is not a bug, what can I do to fix it?

Hi @ClyffeSmash, it might be caused by some “hidden” pixels that reappears when the new palette entry is added. Here a little video showing how this can be reproduced (we draw with a new color that then we remove, but then we add it again, the index data in the image is still present):

Hey, that seemed to do the trick! Thanks.
