Yes:  Upgrade your software!  The problems you described went away with
newer versions of the software.  

Silicon Beach released a Mac II-compatible version of SuperPaint (1.1g?)
shortly after the introduction of the Mac II.  The latest version is 2.0,
which has a color preview mode.  MacPaint became a Claris product.  Claris
released version 2.0, which made the program Mac II-compatible and added
other new features.

Registered owners can upgrade to SuperPaint 2.0 and MacPaint 2.0 for ~$50
and ~$25, respectively, if I remember correctly.

I'm a satisfied user of the SuperPaint, MacPaint, MacDraw, and MacDraw II,
and I have used them on a Mac II in color mode.
