SUMMARY A previous file, when opened, will not display new drawings via tablet, mouse, etc. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open a previously saved drawing .kra with several layers 2. Enter a new layer, any kind 3. Attempt to draw. No success. Accepts Ctrl+Z, no visible result. OBSERVED RESULT No visible drawing, despite changes in brush, color, opacity, layer type. "Select all" and then "Deselect" fixes the issue. EXPECTED RESULT Drawing as normal? SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 10 macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Most recent Krita update, no hardware or software issues on user end (all other programs and hardware work just fine). New files and restored unsaved files do not have the same issue.
More information: - it is hard to reproduce or catch the issue, but I've got several reports of this happening already: Example: https://www.reddit.com/r/krita/comments/e55mmq/i_cant_create_any_new_lines_and_cant_transform/ (then it happened again to the same user...) - Jessie reported they are using two displays, one of which has a web browser etc. which they switch to often - making new layers is possible, drawing isn't; when Krita is locked like that, closing and opening the file won't work, but opening new files will work. - the file that was supposedly locked can be opened later with no issues. - it only affects some .kra files but not others? - usually happens when there are more than one krita windows open? (mode: tabs) Jessie can you please share the output of Help -> Show system information for the bug reports?
Hi Jessie! Does this happen with one particular file or with all files previously saved and reopened? I ask because Krita saves the active selection to the file, so when reopening the selection is still there. Make sure you don't have something selected outside the canvas area, or a very tiny selection, wich will make it hard to see. You can see current global selections in the menus: Select -> Show Global Selection Mask. If you have one just Deselect it: Select -> Deselect.
@vanyossi: 1) The Select -> Deselect menu entry was greyed out. The only way to fix it that we've found for now was Select -> Select All and then Select -> Deselect. I believe there are other ways, but I haven't found them yet (and I've never personally got this issue either). 2) If the file that appeared broken was saved and later opened in new Krita instance, it would be working again. So no, while it can still be a user error, it's not such an obvious one. I believe it can be related to switching focus (Qt does have a problem with it) or multiple displays (likewise), probably with input.
Note: https://www.reddit.com/r/krita/comments/egie0m/either_a_problem_or_ive_accidentally_messed/ Possible reason, stroke not ended correctly? But the person above: - had this issue with only one specific file. - the issue persisted after reopening.
@Jessie please download Krita Plus version and check if this issue happens there.
