I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean. Does the krita window go full-screen and back? Does that still happen if you reset krita's settings?

Its not going fullscreen and back. its the computers taskbar and the part that says "(words here) * - Krita flashing from what we can see to black multiple times

I don't think that is something that we have control over from Krita...

Comment 5 Halla Rempt 2023-06-15 11:25:06 UTC

Sorry, but we don't control anything on the taskbar.
