Opening a file that has an autosaved version externally--i.e navigating to the file in a folder and opening it, causing Krita to launch--causes a weird interaction between the splash screen and the "use autosaved version" dialogue. As seen in the attached post, the splash screen's "close" and "hide on opening" options disappear. It isn't possible to show in a static image, but since the "use autosaved version" dialogue box prevents you from selecting any other options, everything on the splash screen is locked. The splash screen, however, because it sits above EVERYTHING ELSE, blocks you from accessing the "autosaved..." dialogue. As a result, the whole program is effectively locked down. If you attempt to close the dialogue window manually the whole program crashes. System is Windows 8.1 using an Intel gpu Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Locate a file with an autosaved version that will trigger the opening autosave dialogue 2. Open the file externally (i.e. by double clicking the file, right clicking krita and selecting it from the "recent files" list, &c) 3. Get stuck as described above Categorized as minor because it's easy to work around this issue: simply open Krita, close the splash screen, then open the file. Should be fixed, but it's not actually system-breaking if you jump through the hoops in the right order.
Experienced this too on Ubuntu 15.10 with unity desktop
Hi Sam, Thanks for your report. I am now wondering whether this was because I had code at some point that forced the splash window on top at all times -- that got changed recently, but I'm not sure anymore when...

Yeah if I was to hazard a guess that's what I'd suspect the issue is. The splash screen does currently sit over top of all other programs on Windows, including even the Task Manager, which seems like it could cause a whole bunch of problems!
