Thanks for the feedback. What you've encountered is a type error— basically a programming language's compiler telling you that your code is invalid. It's not a bug per-se, although sometimes it is caused by our nodes not being as general as they should be. We just fixed an issue where the Stroke and Fill nodes only applied to vector data but didn't apply to group data (where the group contained one or more vector data). Those kinds of problems, when sensible, should probably get issues filed against them.

The red error message does tell you where to look:

> Check for error details in the node graph, which can be > opened with the viewport's top right _Node Graph_ button.

So in the top right of the viewport, and it's the button labeled "Node Graph". Is it possible your window was very small and the button got scrolled out of the way by other buttons? I'm open to feedback about how you may suggest improving the text of that message. It would currently be hard to make that dialog more visual or interactive, unfortunately, but that'll be something worth building towards improving in the future with improved diagonstics all around.

I'd suggest allowing bug reports directly from the app. You can capture highly useful context with the report. You have highly technical people here eager to help your wonderful creation!

We have this for crash reports. Perhaps that's a good idea to add a menu button for reporting other bugs. Do you have suggestions as to how to make that discoverable?

If I click with a drawing tool on the drawing and my drawing disappears and gets replaced with that screen, that's 100% a bug, no matter how we try to phrase that.

Yes, that should never happen. If you ever encounter that, please report a bug describing the situation in which it occurred. The Brush tool bug was fixed yesterday, so that particular one shouldn't happen anymore.

I suggest putting a button in the error dialog that goes straight to the Node Graph.
