GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 770171
Mypaint eraser won't work unless there is an alpha channel

Steps to reproduce: 1- Create a new image, and draw/write something on it. 2- Go to Mypaint brushes, select a brush, and check in the tool's options "Erase with this brush" 3- Try erasing. Result: nothing happens. Adding an alpha channel makes it work just fine, though.
Indeed, on layers without alpha, it should erase to the background color.
