Basically, Inkscape is remembering what the last fill/stroke settings you used were. If you find this annoying, you can make Inkscape use a standard color/fill for each tool instead; go to Inkscape Preferences and navigate to Tools -> Shapes -> * and set from "Last used style" to "This tool's own style".
If you do change this, then for your workflow, you'll want to familiarize yourself with the "paste style" feature (shift-ctrl-V).

Sounds like you've got the fill/stroke either set to none or to whatever your background is. Use fill/stroke (ctrl+F) to check/change.

Hi,
I'm very new to inkscape and am just learning my way through.
I've just noticed that I'm in an odd draw mode for rectangles and circles where, when I draw them, instead of rectangles or circles showing up, I get an outline box and two small squares and a circle actually on the outline box (not IN it). My goal is just to draw a rectangle or a circle.
Can you help me with this?
Thanks for your time!
