TikZ arrow tip is drawn with two colors

This is my code (ConTeXt, but I think that's not relevant here):
usemodule[tikz]
usetikzlibrary{positioning,fit,shapes,calc,arrows.meta,decorations.markings}
tikzset{
arr/.style = { -{Stealth[width=2mm]} },
garr/.style = {arr, dashed, draw=green},
cflow/.style={draw=black,ellipse,text centered,minimum width=1cm}
}
starttext
starttikzpicture
node[cflow] (A) {A};
node[cflow,right=of A] (E) {E};
node[cflow,below right=.35cm and 1.4cm of E] (B) {B};
path[arr]
(A) edge (E)
(E) edge (B);
path[garr]
(A) edge[bend right] (B);
stoptikzpicture
stoptext
The result is:
Why is the arrow head drawn with both green and black and why do they have different sizes?
tikz-pgf color tikz-arrows

According to page 190 of the manual, stealth arrows are built according to a quadrilateral.
The < color > will apply both to any drawing and filling operations
used to construct the path. For instance, even though the Stealth
arrow tips looks like a filled quadrilateral, it is actually
constructed by drawing a quadrilateral and then filling it in the same
color as the drawing (see the fill option below to see the
difference).
But if you specify a color for the arrow with the draw
option, it is only its border that takes on this color. For it to fill
green, it must also be filled with green.
garr/.style = {arr, dashed,draw=green,fill=green},
Here, it is enough to indicate the color without specifying draw for it to also fill the arrow.
garr/.style = {arr, dashed,green},
here a solution with PDFLatex (I don't use Context, but it's the same).

Thanks! I don't even remember how I ended up usingdraw=green
when justgreen
suffices.

There are nearly a thousand different keys withTikZ
, so the extraordinary thing would be to not forget anything:-)
