Description pieguy360 2015-07-27 04:53:46 UTC
It only occurs if I have more than two documents open on 2 tabs. All I have to do to make the cursor vanish is move it off the canvas. The only way it comes back is if I click on something off the canvas, like a toolbar

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have 2 or more documents open
2. Move cursor off canvas
3. Move it back on, the cursor is gone

Actual Results:  
The cursor is inoperable

Expected Results:  
The cursor should be functioning.

I would like to know which version of windows you have, and what your graphics card is.

I had windows 8.1 along with a Asus gtx 760. Sorry for the late reply, the formatting  on the email was odd on my phone and I didn't see it the first time. Thanks for the reply!

Thanks for getting back to me.

It IS the first time I heard of this issue(we did have something similar with ati graphics cards for a while). It'll take a while to get more information on this as I myself don't own a nvidea card.

What you could do in the meantime is play a bit with the settings under settings->configure Krita->display->openGL. Turning off OpenGL will probably 'fix' it, but the canvas becomes a bit glitchy then: not very desirable.

The brush outline is only drawn over the active canvas, not the inactive; that is probably not going to change because it's the active tool that draw the cursor. And if the image window doesn't have focus, the tool isn't active... You can also add a cursor that will be drawn on every open image window.
