Can you please attach the output of Help->System Information for Bug Reports? It sounds like it might be a GPU driver problem.

It seems to be quite long... I'm not sure this is it.

* I replaced some of my system's directory name.

Comment 4 Halla Rempt 2019-10-10 10:14:41 UTC
Could you check if this still happens 

* if you disable Use Texture Buffer in settigns->configure krita->display?
* if you change the renderer to Angle

?

It still happens in git 79cc75e, but I can't catch the exact moment. I'm trying...
Comment 8 Dmitry Kazakov 2020-06-03 12:12:21 UTC
The provided commit sha1 includes my fixes for selection outline artifacts, so the problem should still be there.
Comment 9 acc4commissions 2020-08-30 00:00:48 UTC
I'm not sure whether it's fixed or not but I haven't been able to see this happening for the last couple of months.
Comment 10 Dmitry Kazakov 2020-09-04 13:11:14 UTC
Hi, acc4commissions!

Thank you for the feedback! I haven't managed to reproduce the bug here locally. Last time I saw something similar was before my Qt outline patches. Let's close it for now. If you happen to reproduce the bag in a recent version, please reopen it :)
Comment 11 acc4commissions 2021-08-10 07:36:30 UTC
It happened again with 5.0 alphas. And I still have 0 idea where it's coming from. :/
Comment 12 acc4commissions 2022-10-10 20:47:06 UTC
It's happening again with 5.1.1. 

The renderer is OpenGL and the texture buffur is off.
Comment 13 acc4commissions 2022-10-10 20:59:15 UTC
I may have accidently press Ctrl+h(Display Selection) and thought it was 'fixed' after rebooting krita because the 'Display Selection' state is not saved and reset(might this be a bug?) after rebooting krita.

I'll disable the shortcut and see if it happens again.
Comment 14 acc4commissions 2022-11-18 17:28:33 UTC
It hasn't been happening since I disabled Ctrl+h(Display Selection). I guess it was the culprit and I'm setting this to resolved.

I hope that no shortcut is assigned to that feature by default because it's very rarely used and it can cause confusion like I've been through. But now that I know it's the case, personally I'm good.
