Description Tyson Tan 2018-02-23 14:21:02 UTC

When a non-paint layer is selected (for example: clone layer, group layer), I cannot toggle horizontal/vertical Mirror Tool (the last two buttons in the toolbar). 

It makes sense to forbid people from painting on non-paint layers. However, it is very confusing to stop us from toggling Mirror mode with "a certain layer type being selected" as a condition. They just don't naturally connect in my brain. I had a very hard time figuring out what happened the first time.

I suggest we make it possible to toggle horizontal/vertical Mirror Tool all the time.

Don't deactive the mirror buttons on non-paint layers

Users might still want to set the axes and things like that.
