Description Hunter Graham 2016-06-24 06:36:32 UTC

When typing in multiline text, the text itself looks glitchy (for lack of a better term) and if I type in too much, Krita crashes.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create new file.
2. Select the text tool.
3. Make sure it's in multiline mode.
4. Make your text area.
5. Type away.

Actual Results:  
Text entered looks glitched, and if I type too much, Krita crashes.

Expected Results:  
Showed the typed-in text without it looking all glitchy-like or making Krita crash.

OS: Windows 10 Home build 10586.420

Hi,

We know the text tool is not in a good state, hence this year's kickstarter campaign: https://krita.org/2016kickstarter. There will be a complete rewrite, with not much of the existing code being reusable.

Confirming that the text tool is still glitching. Both Artistic and Multi-line. I tried using different fonts and font sizes and have not had much luck with getting a good result.

Using version 3.0.1.1 of Krita

Krita v3.1.3 Confirming that the text tool is still showing artifacts.

We just merged the new text tool.

I have just tested the multiline tool in Krita 4.0.0-pre-alpha (x86_64 appimage).

The glitches are still present when editing the text, but they go away when I move the text box.

Additionally, I noticed that the textbox "flickers" when moving it with the "Select Shapes Tool".

Comment 9 Halla Rempt 2017-12-30 13:23:41 UTC

That build still has the old text tool.

Doh! I was so excited that I went to the download page instead of the git repo. I pulled from master and WOW the new text tool looks nice!
