This is known, but sadly it is not a Krita bug. Rather, the cause is that the Intel drivers were broken for 2014, and the only way to get the fixed drivers is via the intel website itself.(This driver hasn't been put into windows update system yet)

It's even in our FAQ, and you can turn off OpenGL to work around it:

Thanks for that.
Switching off OpenGPL appears to work as a quick fix. I may try driver
upgrade if I'm feeling brave!

Hi Geoff,


Can you please tell us exactly which version of display chip and display driver you have? For the driver version, press the Windows key, then type "Device Manager", open the Device manager application and check the Display Adapter dialog.

On my up-to-date SP3, I don't have any problems...
