Description KritaUser 2016-01-14 04:04:41 UTC 
Krita Version 2.9.9 (git 22f7b3b), 64-bit WIN 7

When a new transparent layer is created above a jpg image, the color picker doesn't work properly until the entire transparent layer is selected and cleared out via the delete key.





Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Steps for reproducing bug:
1. Open .jpg file (color space doesn't seem to matter)
2. Create new layer (transparent). Select the new layer.
3. Color picker tool is set to "Sample All Visible Layers", and "Update Current Color" is checked.
4. BUG: Attempting to pick a color from the underlying jpg while the transparent layer is selected does not result in any color selection. This occurs both in the color picker tool and when using ctrl+left click in the brush tool.
5. Work around: in the transparent new layer, select all and hit delete. Then the color picker works as expected. 

Perhaps some default property of a newly created transparent layer is preventing the color picker from working, and the property is getting reset upon deletion???

Actual Results:  
The current color is not updated.

Expected Results:  
The color picker should have selected the color from the underlying layer containing the jpg image.

Hi,

Thanks for your report. I haven't been able to reproduce with 2.9, but I _can_ reproduce it with the 3.0 pre-alpha.

Hi, KritaUser!

I have just tried the recent build of Krita and I cannot reproduce the problem anymore. I guess I have fixed that when changing behavior of the color picker in Instant Preview mode. Could you please the latest builds of Krita 3 Beta?
