Hi @MatoruMT,
The Apex Legends team has been investigating some issues with the fill/no-fill options. It sounds like that's most likely what's causing the issues you've been seeing as well. I'm afraid I don't have a time frame on when this may be fixed, but hopefully it will be sorted out soon.
Thanks for your patience while this is under investigation.
