SUMMARYI am working on colouring comic book art. Having completed a page (page 1) I start work on another page (page 2). In order to use on page 2, a colour I have used on page one, I switch to page 1 and pick off the colour using the "Ctrl" key. I switch back to page 2 to continue working but the cursor is not visible in the work area. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open working page and colour an area. 2. Open reference page and select a colour from the page by using the "Ctrl" key 3. Switch back to work page. OBSERVED RESULT The cursor is not visible in the workspace. It can, however, be seen when moving over tool areas. The cursor becomes visible if an attempt is made to draw on the workspace (but the precise location is only a guess). EXPECTED RESULT The cursor should resume on the work page exactly as prior to switching to the reference page.

I can't reproduce this using the 4.2.8 portable .zip on Windows 10. I tried using the mouse, the stylus (Wacom Intuous Draw) and also swapping between the two after selecting a colour on document 1 then switching to document 2.
Created attachment 126499 [details] attachment-17053-0.html I have found that I had my cursor set to "No Cursor" and outline shape set to "Preview Outline". Under these settings I should not, of course, have expected to see a cursor. However, as I am using "Freehand Brush Tool" 99% of the time a circle usually shows where the brush is on the canvas. When switching between documents as previously described this circle is not shown until the stylus touches the tablet. This "problem" occurs whether an operation is carried out or not between switching.

In general the window must be active for some operations to apply: the outline is on that situation. so we only check for generating the outline on current active document.
I'm sorry, but this isn't a bug in Krita, it's just the way things work.
