> 4) Brush preset button disappears
I mean preset _window_ disappears. Is it possible to edit bug description in this bug tracker?

I don't set the limits for bugzilla... But I can confirm the issue, though it's hard to fix, since popups by definition disappear when they lose focus, and when the keyboard pops up, Krita loses focus.

Well, at least it's usable if you already have the keyboard opened before opening the popup...

In any case this would be an upstream Qt bug...

(Also, the keyboard is supposed to pop up automatically if under Windows 10 tablet mode, but it doesn't work properly with Qt. This is tracked on https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-43190)

Right, so let's close as upstream -- we cannot do anything here...
