Description Silvio Grosso 2011-12-25 11:00:52 UTC
Version:           2.4-snapshots (using Devel) 
OS:                MS Windows

KRITA 2.4 BETA 5 - WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM (64 BIT)

THIS GLITCH OCCURS AS WELL ON:
UBUNTU 11.10 - 64 bit (Oneiric Ocelot) - UNITY SHELL
Kde 4.7.4
KRITA 2.4 - BETA 4 (installed through ppa:neon/ppa)
OpenGl is disabled (Setting > Configures > Display)
Vbox 4.1.4 (Windows 7 as Host; Ubuntu is the guest)
My Distro is updated - upgraded daily (so it is the

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Fire up Krita 2.4 beta 5;
2. Choose a RGB template (e.g. 640x480)
3. Add a text shape;
4. Write some text on the canvas;
5. Trying to select does not work with your mouse (that is, press left button of your mouse + selecting the text with your mouse);
6. It does not work either whether you try to press on your keyboard: SHIFT + left arrow (to select one letter every stroke of the left arrow)


Actual Results:  
It is not possible to select ALL your text to change its size.
This occurs both on Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.10 (Krita 2.4).

With Words - Calligra > Windows 7 (I can select my text BUT Words crashes most of the time).

Btw, IMHO adding some text on Krita quickly is a real pain :-(
Most of the time the "wrong" shape pops up.
You must really "lucky" to add your text rapidly on the canvas :-)

Expected Results:  
I should be able to select all my text (to change its size)

I have recorded a video to show this problem.
You can get it here:

In this video you can:
- visualize this problem on Words - Calligra (unfortunately, most of the time Words crashes but, one time, I did succeed to select my text on Words);
- On Windows 7, with Krita 2.4(B5) it does not work: you can not select your text to change its size (either with your mouse or with your keyboard);
- On Ubuntu 11.10 (Krita 2.4 b3) it does not work either (you can not select your text).

Hi Silvio,

Yes -- this is a relatively recent regression in the text shape. I'm not sure yet what caused it exactly, but it's making editing text very hard.

Hi everyone,

I have just upgraded my system and now I run Krita beta 5:
UBUNTU 11.10 - 64 bit (Oneiric Ocelot) - UNITY SHELL
KDE: Platform Version 4.7.97 (4.8 RC2)
KRITA 2.4 - BETA 5 (installed through ppa:neon/ppa)
OpenGl is disabled (Setting > Configures > Display)
Vbox 4.1.4 (Windows 7 as Host; Ubuntu is the guest)
My Distro is updated - upgraded daily (through the ppa:neon/ppa package)

With beta 5 several problems still occur while trying to increase your text size.

It is not possible to select easily your text (you are forced to try several times before achieving it).
Sometimes you can increase your text by simply placing your mouse cursor at the very beginning of the text, before the first letter (but this options "works" on random)
