Your absolutely right.

Well, I'm not really talking the jagged edges that are inherent in an
image as a result of the algorithms that were used to produce it. What I
was referring to is pixel isolation. You know, the pixels that retain
the old color because they are not geometrically and/or spatially
oriented correctly as far as the fill paint/pattern algorithm is
concerned (What I'm not talking about is the color inside the loop that
composes the characters of letter like "g" or 'A" or for that matter the
interior of a rectangle such as a box).

Now that I think about it, a plugin to fix this issue would be really
nice...


Best
