After clicking the Edit Brush Settings button, the edit brush Window appeared Oversized (as in near full screen) and Covered the default Apple Toolbar at the top of screen and has no exit button to close the window. Also unable to be resized by clicking and dragging the sides. In image provided, you will see there is no normal apple menu/tool bar at the top of screen due to being covered by the edit brush settings window. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.create new image 2.click the Edit Brush Settings Icon 3.Unable to move, resize, or exit window Actual Results: The edit brush settings window opened near full screen size and covered the top default OSX toolbar, leaving no GUI means of closing the window. Have to hotkey quit (cmd+q) to activate prompt to save image or not, which then exits the window. Hitting cancel leaves the window closed. Expected Results: Stayed a relatively adequate size, less than half the screen. Be able to be closed, resized, and moved. Mac 10.10.5 Krita 3.0 Alpha Rated normal due to work around, otherwise major due to user experience being ruined.
Hi, The brush editor popup is too big and complex, that's a known issue. You can right-click on the editor to detach it, which should help here. Redesigning the brush editor is something that's being discussed, but we haven't got a good design yet.
I was testing some of the G'MIC filters when I bumped into this bug. It has a work around (cmd+Q and then hit cancel), but definitely something not appeasing for OSX users. And your work around of right click and selecting detach does not work. I get into the bug, right click, select detach, and it appears nothing happens. This is because the top bar that appears when detached, is still out of the user's visible and intractable space After selecting detach, I attempt to drag the box away from the top, but to no avail. (Can only click and drag is I see the bar, which I do not) All OSX applications never go above or cover up the top menu bar. The only time it should ever disappear is when in full screen mode, but then the user should be able to put their mouse at the top of screen and it reappears. In this case the box covers it and makes it inaccessible entirely, as well as unmovable, because I suspect the top of this box is what you click to drag and move it around, which is why the detach does not work, as far as I know. If I am incorrect and you can click anywhere (that does not invoke an action, ie. hitting a button) in the box to drag it, then that does not work in OSX either. Also, I am uncertain if this may simply be a "smaller screen" problem, I think it would be a problem in all systems. My laptop has a 13.3-inch (2560 x 1600) screen. Despite actual size, I'm pretty sure that's either an average or above average screen resolution. I also am more certain it is not limited to smaller screen sizes, because the brush editor popup appears up there no matter the location of the actual main program window. And that means that even if marked as attached to toolbar, its not acting like expected when stated to be attached to the toolbar. By this I mean, I would expect the popup to appear underneath the krita toolbar, but instead it appears statically at the top. This is most likely an error simply in when it is called to appear, it is not taking into account the relative location of the tool bar, and also when stated to be detached I doubt it takes into consideration the location of the system menu bar. If I have free time in summer, I will attempt to handle this bug, since it is mac specific. My studies end and I get free time starting at May 8th. The Krita tasks will begin then. ;)
Your laptop has a high res screen, but Apple's retina stuff artificially scales it down, by default to 1280x800 pixels, which is not all that much.
I saw another Japanese user(MacOSX) suffering from this issue, and I too think it really is annoying when using Krita fullscreen on OSX - Brush Editor taking up the whole space and it won't go, unless using cmd+q method in the description, or Command+Tab and switching to another application. (Due to 361766, it's not possible to use "detach" brush editor now.)
i have made the brush editor a bit smaller vertically, but I am not sure if it will be small enough still. We need to figure out the maximum window size we need to support. If it needs to be much smaller than it currently is, we will probably need to do a pretty major design change to get it smaller. it will be a trade-off of scrolling more to see everything, but it will be more manageable for smaller monitors.
Created attachment 101719 [details] macbook screen capture This is 3.1 beta brush editor displayed in macbook air11(entire screen captured)...still big for the screen I think. If "detach" brush editor option would be back, I think that would be an acceptable workaround. (I noticed ESC can close the editor - in that sense it's better than before.)
The master branch has some UI updates to the brush editor. The width is quite a bit smaller in it as the left area and scratchpad can be toggled on or off. When the master branch gets pushed out, we can determine if it is small enough, or what the next steps are to improve it.
I am going to close this out. We have made a lot of changes in Krita 4.0 and the brush editor is quite a bit smaller now. Some of the areas are collapsible which can help save space. If there are additional issues, we can always open another ticket up and go from there.
