1 ) have an opened file in the original window (window 1) 2 ) choose new window (window 2) 3) choose the open file in the new window with "new view" 4) set "window 2" to "canvas only mode" 5) go back to "window 1" 6) New window (window 3) ->window 3 will have started in canvas only mode if you exit the canvas only mode and THEN open a new window it usually is fine. But needless to say this should not happen. confirmed by john_cephalopod on IRC 13:58:36 - john_cephalopoda: Bollebib: I can reproduce this bug in i3wm. 13:59:02 - john_cephalopoda: Krita 4.1.5 15:06:24 - john_cephalopoda: Bollebib: I can now also confirm that the bug exists in 4.1.7.101 Wolthera could not reproduce,she thought plasma may be why she could not.
I cannot reproduce this either. Commit 6970bfcad9bf540b3dc34199b2bbe629672d5be3 might have fixed it; please check whether that's true when it's in the nightly build.
this seems solved in Krita Next from today So i will mark it as resolved
