* What OS are you using? * Are you talking about the shortcut management dialog and the button with the backspace icon? (That works for me.) Or about clearing the contents of a selection on the canvas? Sorry, this could definitely have been clearer. I am on Debian, and I'm talking about the "Clear" shortcut (clearing contents of a selection). And to clarify my awkward phasing; the previous selection is cleared if you have yet to let go of left click. So if I were to select a new area, and quickly click my "Clear" shortcut without letting go of mouse left click, it would not register the new selection area. Also, I assume this is part of a more general quality, where if a shortcut affecting a selection is ran while the mouse button has yet to be released it does not update. "without letting go of left mouse button" - you mean you use the Outline Selection Tool but you don't finish the selection (you're still holding the left button pressed), but try to Clear it during making the selection? (Please reopen this report if you meant something else). In that case, I don't think there is anything we can or should do - up until you finish the selection, there is no new selection to talk about. Krita don't see it as selection until you finish making it. So, Clear *does* clear the current selection - because before you finish the new one, the current selection is the one you made before (or the whole image, if nothing was selected before you started making the outline). In the bottom-left corner there is a little button with a circle inside a rectangle, if you click it when you have the selection, you'll change the selection display mode from "ants (animated outline)" to "mask" (red areas are areas that are not selected). Then you can see that the mask only switches to the new selection when it's finished. If you keep using that display mode, maybe it will prevent you from making the mistake of trying to clear a selection that doesn't exist yet. Good luck with your painting! |
