Description Bronson 2019-05-09 02:52:25 UTC 
SUMMARY
This only seems to happen in krita. When a tool opens a popup window, the main krita window fades out. This is unusable when trying to adjust the image in anyway as its almost black in the faded state.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open image
2. Add filter layer
3. Cant see the canvas very well....

OBSERVED RESULT


EXPECTED RESULT
No fade :)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Halla Rempt 2019-05-09 07:53:52 UTC 
I assume you're using plasma? If so, tell kwin not to dim the main window if it shows a dialog, if not fix the window manager you're using not to dim the main window. This has nothing to do with Krita.
Comment 2 Bronson 2019-05-09 08:14:15 UTC 
Ah! I found the option under desktop effect > "Dialog Parent"
This only happens in krita which is unusual...
Comment 3 Halla Rempt 2019-05-09 08:16:28 UTC 
Maybe other applications you use don't set the parent widget for their dialogs, which would be a bug.
