When Krita auto-saves the whole program freezes entirely for 4-6 seconds. If you can't reproduce, try with a large file. I can't regression test right now, but I believe my last master build without this issue was about one to one and a half weeks ago.
Sorry, Storm, as a bug report this is completely useless. You need at least to specify _how_ big that image of yours is; if you don't have time to test with older appimages, you should wait with the report until you have had time. You probably should also make a video of this that includes the entire Krita window including all decorations. Right now, we have nothing to go on. Please come back later with the required information.
Sorry, I have my limits too. I said I don't have time because building git commits is the only method I was aware of, and that takes me 40 minutes each time (for clean build). I didn't know appimages of git master exist, you should have just said so. With krita-4.0.0-beta1-b322ae6-x86_64 the issue is not present. Freeze is proportional to the size of document. With 3000 x 3000 8bit sRGB single layer it's 2 seconds, with 5000 x 5000 nit's 3-4. With my work file about 4000 x 7000 16 bit and several layers it's in a range of 5-8 sec.

Hi, Storm! Could you send me a screenshot of your memory configuration on the Performance tab in the settings? And could you make a screenshot of the About->Krita window to let me know sha1 of the commit you have? The point is, I've just tried to reproduce the problem on my local build and I cannot do that :( I have the following ideas what can be the problem with your build: 1) If you build Krita yourself, you might have some very old plugins installed (e.g. histogram had this problem is some point of time). Please try the latest nightly build to eliminate this possibility: https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/Krita_Nightly_Appimage_Build/ 2) There might also be a problem that Krita does extensive swapping while you paint. That is why I ask about the memory settings dialog. 3) Please also tell me if you have Instant Preview enabled or not :)
Hi Dmitry! Thanks for looking into this! Last commit from git log is 8e738a0e0a8302322a647d42076200bed924f283 - interestingly About Krita only says "3.3.3" 1) I build myself, and with krita-4.1.0-pre-alpha-dbd65ef-x86_64.appimage the issue is _not_ present. So how do I fix this? I thought erasing my install dir and then clean building does the trick. 2) Attaching screenshot, just in case. 3) Instant Preview is off.

If you build yourself, make sure the build type is Release, RelWithDebInfo or KritaDevs. Make sure you have all deps, especially Vc. Removing the install dir should be enough to make sure you don't have any old plugins about. Beyond that, there isn't much we can do now.
I did everything you said and the issue is still there. - type is RelWithDebInfo - wiped my build dir and install dir - all deps installed, including Vc and all optional - pulled master fresh
Hi, Storm! Did you try resetting your settings directory? That looks extremely weird that you don't have the issue with the appimage and have it with a manually built build. I have the following guesses: 1) Recommended value for "Internal Pool" now is "0%", please set it to null. 2) If it doesn't help, try resetting all configuration directories [0] 3) If it doesn't help either, it means you have some weird problems with your local build... Try using AppImage instead :) [0] - https://docs.krita.org/KritaFAQ#Resetting_Krita_configuration
