There is a bug witch make difficult the use of the Cursor Shape : "Brush outline with ... " difficult . ( in preferences panel , General , then 'Cursor Shape list' ). to reproduce : ============ 1. Go to pref, switch Cursor shape to use for example : "Brush outline with small circle" 2. Select a brush and paint freehand ( B ) , all is ok and improve the visibility of small brush, and center of big. Also, movement of cursor is smoother and blink less. A real advantage. 3. Select a selection tool , or select the color picker and use them now. what it does : ============ All cursor in Krita are replaced with the small circle ( ex : color picker appear as a small circle ). The usage of the tools become confusing. The user don't have feedback. what expected : ============= All non-painting tools ( picker, selections, move tool ) should keep their cursor ( generally a simple cursor with a bottom right corner little tool icon for the feedback ).
Yes, all the tools except Freehand Tool have wrong cursor.
