1. lazzo tool on a part of the drawing

I've been experiencing this as well.

Comment 2 acc4commissions 2021-12-19 07:53:49 UTC

I can't confirm that it only happens with lasso or with the all selection tools tho. I almost always use lasso.

Comment 3 wolthera 2021-12-19 10:44:43 UTC

I can't confirm, but what is probably going on here is that the action that cuts is asking the node manager to cut before the selection tool has had a chance to finish up it's selection and tell the node manager about it. This also means that proly noone who doesn't have this workflow can confirm, because this kind of speed is only possible if you're practiced in making a selection and then immediately cutting, so I'll mark it as confirmed for now.

Similar behavior happens with lasso + move tool sometimes.

Comment 5 acc4commissions 2021-12-23 21:12:03 UTC

I'm not sure it's related, krita sometimes stuck in a state that you just see the marching ants you made on the canvas that won't dissapear and can't deselect, make a selection, move/copy/paste anything with selections etc.

After about 15 minutes of testing on AppImages I have not been able to reproduce this bug in any version of Krita, so I'm marking it as NEEDSINFO for now. If the bug is still around in 5.2.9 or later, please set it back to confirmed :)
