SUMMARY Creating a fill layer with a pattern then saving, closing and reloading results in the fill layer having the incorrect pattern. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a new blank image 2. create a fill layer 3. select 'pattern' from the options and select any monochrome dither-style pattern (the greyscale patterns seem to be unaffected) 4. Layer will fill with the selected pattern. 5. Save image. 6. Close Krita. 7. Reopen Krita and the image OBSERVED RESULT The fill layer will show the wrong pattern. In fact it looks a little bit like it's merged 2 patterns together EXPECTED RESULT It should have the same pattern that was selected. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 10 and 7 MacOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: help->system info: ------------------ Krita Version: 4.1.7 Qt Version (compiled): 5.9.3 Version (loaded): 5.9.3 OS Information Build ABI: x86_64-little_endian-llp64 Build CPU: x86_64 CPU: x86_64 Kernel Type: winnt Kernel Version: 6.1.7601 Pretty Productname: Windows 7 SP 1 (6.1) Product Type: windows Product Version: 7sp1 OpenGL Info **OpenGL not initialized** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Krita appears to think it is displaying the correct pattern. If you open the properties for the fill layer (F3) and select the correct pattern again and click OK, Krita will not change the pattern - i'm guessing this is because it thinks this is the currently selected one. If I switch to another pattern and press ok then press F3 for properties again and change it back to the correct one again, this time it will work. This bug is also (for me) in versions 4.1.2, 4.1.5 and 4.1.7. These are the only versions I've tested on. Thanks for the amazing software though everyone. Much appreciated.
I can confirm. You don't need to close Krita. Just do the steps mentioned and save it as a KRA. Then close the image and re-open it. The pattern appears to get a small grid on top of it. The only way to get rid of it is change the pattern to something else. Not sure why it would do this
I have two custom patterns which are .png files, both 100 x 100 showing a grid of red and blue lines. One pattern has a white background and the other has a transparent background. The white background pattern is not affected but the transparent background pattern is affected. The Hexacol pattern is not monochrome (grey edges), it has a transparent background and is affected. The transparent background may be significant?
Some further experimentation based on the previous 2 comments: Krita is in fact layering another pattern, not loading the incorrect one. It's loading 'Grid01.pat' from Krita Dir\share\krita\patterns. From what Ahab says, it sounds like it's loading grid01.pat first then the correct pattern (hence greyscale patterns with transparency showing the grid01 pattern. Interestingly, if I rename the grid pattern it fixes the problem. eg. i renamed it to grid01BAK.pat and now it works fine. That pattern is still selectable from within Krita as it just shows up with the new name. :D
