Description Noel Santos 2025-07-08 18:02:38 UTC 
SUMMARY

The gradient button on the toolbar becomes empty/blank after reloading Krita with a custom gradient selected, which leads to crashes under some circumstances, e.g. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=505986

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click on the gradient button the toolbar
2. Add a new gradient called "Black to White"
3. Add a new gradient tag called "Basic Gradients"
4. Tag the gradient with the tag.
5. Select the "Basic Gradients" tag
6. Select the "Black to White" gradient
7. Close Krita
8. Open Krita
9. Create a new document

OBSERVED RESULT

The gradient button is empty.

EXPECTED RESULT

The gradient that I selected before should be displayed, or some valid fallback gradient should be selected.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
I'm on Linux Mint.
