6.15.  Fill with BG Color

"Fill with BG Color" causes the active layer selection to be filled with the solid color shown in the Background part of the Color Area of the Toolbox. (The color is also shown to the left of the menu entry.) If some areas of the image are only partially selected, they are filled in proportion to their degree of selectness.

[Note] Note

Mind that if the image has no selection, the whole active layer will be filled.
