Description Gabriel Pila 2016-04-06 16:35:29 UTC

With the intention to create a new image one clicks file then new or the shortcut ctrl+n. However the confirmation button for creating new image is beyond the visible screen making it inaccesible. Any attempt to resize the window is futile as the bottom part of the window remains beyond the view of the user.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click File
2. Click New
3. or ctrl + N

Actual Results:  
The window for creating a new image appears, with the confirmation button way below the taskbar or the screen for that matter. Resizing the window does not bring the confirmation button above the taskbar.

Expected Results:  
The confirmation button must be visible every time one  clicks new image. Resizing the window could help.

I'm no computer expert but I believe that this program should be user friendly. Is there a way to debug this problem myself without having to wait for an update?

There is a smaller new image dialog in the 3.0 alpha build already. To be released at the end of the month.

Thanks, I'm very new to Krita and I have just been reading updates for it. I am now aware you won't be doing bug fixes for Krita 2, that's cool. Will be looking forward to Krita 3.

(btw to resolve the issue I just re-installed the program . . . microsoft, go figure)
