Description Nabil Stendardo 2012-05-11 21:41:40 UTC

Each time I use a shape tool (such as a rectangle), it creates a new shape layer instead of adding it to the current active shape layer. And since two shape layers cannot be merged into a shape layer (it rasterizes the layers in question), this makes it an annoying bug indeed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new document
2. Create a shape layer
3. Have that shape layer selected
4. Select the rectangle tool
5. Draw a rectangle
Actual Results:  
A new shape layer is created with the rectangle in it.

Expected Results:  
It should add the results to an existing shape layer.

I use Ubuntu 12.04 AMD64 and my version of Krita comes from ubuntu repositories.

Hi Nabil,

Thanks for your report. I can confirm the bug. The strange thing is, dragging a shape from the add shape palette doesn't create a new shape layer...

Following some experimentation using current git master:

In addition to dragging from the shape palette, the "draw a path" and the "draw straight line with current brush" tools behave as expected---i.e. add to an existing vector layer rather than creating a new one. Also, copying and then pasting an existing shape within a layer behaves as expected.

Comment 5 Nabil Stendardo 2012-11-14 16:37:55 UTC

No it's not fixed. The fix is committed only to the 'master' branch, which means that unless the user wants bleeding-edge code, he does not benefit from the fix. Please backport it.

This is by now in Krita 2.6 which is generally available.
