Bug 435254

Sorry, but I cannot reproduce that. And there have been no changes in any code related to the cursor for ages. Are you sure the outline shape setting is still set to Preview Outline.

Yes, and basically all outlines are invisible including Circle outline and Tilt outline. Checking Use effective outline size didn't help either.

It was visible in the last nightly : git 1b3b197

No... I cannot reproduce this on any of my Windows systems.

Interestingly it is visible when I'm holding shift key to resize the outline.

I can reproduce this, and it was also mentioned by Lynx in the IRC. Although the preview outline appears on startup, making a stroke is enough to make it disappear. Selecting a new tool like the rectangle tool will bring it back, but switching back to the old tool will not bring it back, along with breaking it for the rectangle tool for the rest of the session.

Also, when creating a new document, the system cursor doesn't change into the canvas cursor until a stroke is made... Not sure if that's the same issue here, but that's not how it is in stable Krita.

I just bisected the problem, result:
