P: Transparent background not sticky when creating new doc from clipboard in the new document

Where did Adobe hide the ability to open a file file with transparent background when copying an image from another file? All I get is the option for white, black or custom color?

Yes!!! But that option wasn’t available for me. How come?

Hi ms_soho

Is this what you're referring too?

When creating a new document, it would be helpful to have a Transparent background content option in addition to the current White, Black and foreground color. Or a checkbox to Keep it Transparent. I'm creating multiple gif animations on transparent bg and I keep having to double click bg to unlock and then delete to get the transparent bg after creating the new file. It would be nice to skip that step.

Last week this worked, this week, no dice. Adobe sucks. They should all just choke themselves. Seriously. Die.

the Transparent option is still there.  You just need to scroll down a bit more.

EXTREMELY LAME. WHY DO THEY MAKE THINGS HARDER IN NEW VERSIONS. WAKE UP ADOBE, READ THESE FORUMS.

I hate Adobe. Hate them. My configuration won't save. My chosen font defaults to myriad pro and if I remove that from the Font Book it becomes Helvetica. They know this... but for the sake of usability they refuse to leave the last font in place. I despise them for behaving in such despicable ways....

I didn't see this scroll bar, but I will look again. Thanks for illustrating.

Here you go. Screenshots showing how to get to Transparent as a background option. What you have to do is use the scrollbar to scroll all the way to the bottom, as far as it will go, when you open the list. . You don't have to open the Advanced menu to get there, because it's just a matter of getting room to drop down the complete list. I think that's what clicking on Advanced gave you in the early days. 

They really could/should properly fix this since it's still scarcely obvious why the list doesn't drop down to encompass everything.
