Description Simon Hrbek 2022-10-31 14:25:58 UTC

SUMMARY
Krita crashes when attempting to paste a reference image if the clipboard had been copied from an empty layer.
I'm a tech idiot and couldn't figure out a way to get a backtrace.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. On an invisible paint layer, make a selection and copy the selection to clipboard
2. Select the Reference images tool, and under tool options click Paste reference image from clipboard

OBSERVED RESULT
Krita pauses for a while and crashes.

EXPECTED RESULT
Krita pastes contents of the selection as if the layer had been visible, or at least doesn't crash.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon, Cinnamon ver. 5.2.7

Can you please test with the appimage? I cannot reprocude a crash with 5.1.1 or master; instead I get a warning "could not create reference image from clipboard"
