Hi!

I'm on OSX 10.13.5, I'm sorry I have no problems related to the cursor disapearing on tool selection no matter how many times I changed tools. is there someting in particular you were doing?.

The cursor getting stuck in another "icon" has been reported (zoom icon, windowresizing icon and arrow icon", it seems to be related to a missing event, but we haven't find any time to fix it yet. the original bug report is here https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=390642

Hi,

Thank you for a fast reaction :)
I did a little bit more testing, and recorded my screen: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fjHm7siGOTiXuVqcLJ5sgmvPgxta2nRg/view?usp=sharing

So as you can see, after few brush strokes I'm opening the tool palette (I don't know how you call it in Krita, sorry ;), and my cursor seems to be unable to get in, it stucks on the border. Although it's probably inside, cause when I click something happens, like the paint color is changing. I was able to recreate this at least two times.

Then at the end, you can see that the patch tool stopped working, although this time the brush cursor is visible, it doesn't do anything. Later I tried changing the tool to brush, it also wasn't working. And I was unable to open the right click palette - it was not popping up.

Also I get a feeling that the program is a bit laggy. I'm on Macmini i7 (I7-3720QM), 16 GB RAM, SSD drive. I work a lot in Photoshop and it runs smoothly on this configuration.

This report seems to be 2 bugs instead of one.

PopUpPalette works perfectly fine, but because the "cursor gets stuck" problem it causes the cursor to remain in painting more instead of changing to the arrow. The workaround for now is to set the cursor shape to something other than "no cursor". This will work for brush tool but not for the patch tool as it doesn't have a cursor shape :c

I could only get the tools stuck one time and it seems to be related to a problem in PopUpPalette and the ResourceManager as when it happened the tags in the PopupPalette were not working properly displaying random brushes instead of the brushes for that category. However in your video it seems to happend after a tile got badly rendered, not after using the popupPalette. After it got stuck no tool on any document created in that session would work afterwards.

After some trying I could get the state of tools stuck a little consistent but im not entirely sure when, it sometimes happen after selecting the patch tool and haveing a enormmous brush size, others after closing the popUpPalette. I'll  confirm this this bug for now.

The bug triggers a SAFE_ASSERT

How to reproduce

After some attempts of 
1. clicking "Smart Patch tool"
2. Change brush with popUpPalette
3. use patch tool.

The assert is triggered. this provoques the tool to be in the active mode, so even if its selected the tool will appear to be broken.

I could only trigger the assert with the "Smart Patch tool"

I can confirm this bug as well with Wacom Intuos tablet using these repro steps:

1. Create new document, sketch on default layer
2. Create new layer and hide layer drawn on above
3. Sketch on new layer and bring up pop-up palette window using button on pen
4. Select a new tool and attempt to draw
5. Observe canvas UI is not responsive, unable to recover without quitting Krita

Canvas frozen after using pop-up palette

Pen taps are indicated with red circles, larger circles indicate pressing pen button. Canvas does not respond to either inputs.

I found workarounds for the problems on OSX:
If the cursor icon gets stuck as magnifying glass by zooming with the trackpad just rotate with two fingers on the trackpad. The image will not rotate, not supported luckily, but the icon gets normal again.

If you cannot draw because the cursor on the canvas does not react anymore, because of clicking with the wacom somewhere in a docker (for example choose a color with the small color selector) : 
lift the pen - once the pen is out of reach the icon gets normal again and is not stuck in the middle of the canvas anymore.

(by the way: opening the preference window and closing it works also (Cmd-,)(Esc) )

perhaps this helps to find a solution - seems it is about switching focus with the tablet. No Problem with the Trackpad)

In some cases lifting the pen does not help.
If the cursor freezes after usinng the pop up palette only opening/closing the preference window works.

It might be the same Enter/Leave problem that we just fixed on Windows and Linux...

I no longer get this bug after 91963c577fad5adb226809fac4c00aeafb846128
