In 2.8 beta 1, when using a tool that creates a shape or area, pressing either Shift, Control or Alt (in order to lock the ratio/resize from center/move the shape or area) does nothing instead. The shape/area stops moving, and there is no visual feedback. If you release the mouse button without depressing the key, nothing will happen. The outline of the shape/area will remain visible on the canvas, but it won't actually correspond to a change (example attached). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Choose any shape/area tool (i.e. rectangle, crop, select ellipse, etc.) 2. Click and drag to start adding the shape/area 3. Without releasing, press either Shift/Control/Alt Actual Results: The selected tool stops working Expected Results: It should resize or move the shape/area according to the hotkey(s)
Created attachment 84082 [details] An example of a broken outline (top left) of the rectangle tool that remains visible.
These problems seem to have disappeared in the 2.7.9.1 x64 build. Except some tools now are not responding to Alt/Control keys when changing area size. In particular, I'm referring to the Crop and Transform tools. Pressing Shift to keep ratio is not working with Crop either, but it is working with Transform.
