Hi Maren,
yes, I tried selected and not.
I suspect that this might be an issue with Catalina, which, incidentally, is why I am migrating from Illustrator. I’m running the beta version of Inkscape too, so there may be bugs there.
I suspect the heart of the problem is the failure of the ‘cut’ command, which must be part of the erase routine.
Cheers, Dave

Hi Dave,
I've found that the eraser only works on selected items - not sure whether that's a bug or a feature...
Have you tried it like that, too?

Hi,
I’m a new user migrating over from Illustrator. I’m running a Mac (Catalina 10.15.3) and Inkscape 1.0beta2 (2b71d25, 2019-12-03). I have deleted the preferences file prior to this test.
From a new, empty document, I created a couple of shapes.
Following an online tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gO7TU7N3sn0) my installation does not cut paths using the eraser and the ‘cut out from paths and shapes’ setting. I get a [red] line (path) as in the tutorial, but it remains after I lift the mouse and the underlying shape remains intact. I can delete the red line in the usual way.
On a second shape, I convert to a path, highlight a pair of nodes and click ‘cut’. The highlight on the nodes disappears, but the path remains intact.
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
