Created attachment 161624 [details] ^ video of the bug SUMMARY Hey, on testing the betas of Krita 5.2, I always had this weird behavior: many selection interupted: I continue to trace, but Krita does as if I lifted the stylus off the surface of the tablet in the middle of my gesture and close it. But I had no idea how to reproduce. Now I investigated it a bit more, and I found a way to reproduce and even filmed it to find what could be potentially the cause (the Overview Docker refreshing preview). Mp4 movie in attachement, 3.2MB (MP4, 720p) STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. On a Krita setup of GUI with the Overview Docker 2. Create a big new document (eg. 7000x4000px) 3. Draw (with brush) a big spiral and immediately switch to a selection tool (by shortcut eg. Ctrl+R for rectangular ) and trace a selection. OBSERVED RESULT If you are quick enough your selection will be interupted. EXPECTED RESULT Finishing the tracing of my selection. OBSERVATIONS - couldn't reproduce in 5.1.5. - couldn't reproduce with Overview Docker closed. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora latest, Kde. Appimage 5.2 (beta2) .

Git commit 36babc4378d8d32fe7d5f1e1c7440edfdf9ba9cc by Dmitry Kazakov. Committed on 18/09/2023 at 15:03. Pushed by dkazakov into branch 'master'. [test before 5.2.0] Fix cancelling of the selection when doing two consequtive selections Back in 2013 we used to switch node properties without undo/redo information. Hence we needed this notification in KisImage::nodeChanged(). Now we use undo+strokes for the switch, so requestStrokeEnd() is emitted explicitly by the stroke. This change looks a bit scary for 5.2.0, because the change is in a rather deep place, so we should test it well before backporting.

Hey, as I could still reproduce in krita-5.2.0-x86_64.appimage (I got it from https://download.kde.org/stable/krita/5.2.0/ ) I came back here and read the commit message. Did the fix was too scary to be backported to 5.2?

Hi, David! Thank you for the reminder! I've backported the fix! :)
