draw tiles on a multi layer layout (11 layers)

HI,

New to construct 3 but been using construct 2 for a few months.

I'm seemingly not able to draw tiles on a layout (with 11 layers) , seems like layer 0. This doesn't seem to be an issue with layouts with very few (2) layers.

Steps i'm using:

select the layout (with 11 layers) that's using my tilemap

the layout has 2 tilemaps, one in layer 0, other in layer 1 - both using the same image with same dimensions

hide all layers except the one with my tile map (layer 0)

select the layer 0 so it is the active layer

select the tilemap in the project window

select it in the z order

go to tilemap bar

select pencil

select any tile

try to draw selected tile

result:

not able to draw on the layout

I noticed i can't draw tiles over an area as long as there's something above the tilemap in the z order in the same layer. I was able to do this in construct 2. is this a bug?
