Description wolthera 2014-06-03 12:23:49 UTC 
When using the navigation keys that call up a floating message(Zoom, rotation, reset canvas, mirror etc.) the canvas-input seems to freeze.

So, for example, when using 'Plus' to zoom in, pressing it once will summon the floating message, but after wards pressing it again will not do anything. It is not until the user presses on another button or the canvas that the 'plus' key will work again.

Reproducible: Always




Seems to be gnome specific?

Disabling floating messages through creative commenting in the source removes all problems... except you lose the floating messages.

May actually be an older problem, but just not as obvious because the only thing using floating messages was 'tab-to-fullscreen', and you're unlikely to rapidly tap 'tab'.

Could you try this:

diff --git a/krita/ui/widgets/kis_floating_message.cpp b/krita/ui/widgets/kis_floating_message.cpp
index 3a1046b..0bbabbd 100644
--- a/krita/ui/widgets/kis_floating_message.cpp
+++ b/krita/ui/widgets/kis_floating_message.cpp

And see what happens?

Using Tooltip instead of Tool seems to fix that.
