Created attachment 167155 [details] video SUMMARY *** If I click fast through the frames of animations the frames tend to be dragged (it seems) on another slot and vanish. I added a video of this in the attachments because it is hard to explain how to do it. *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. click witht he pen on random frames (or also from the first to the last) as if you are "scrolling them" OBSERVED RESULT Frames are deleted SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows 10 Version: 5.3.0-prealpha (git 1ef82c9)
Hi. I think you're trying to animate using the layers docker, but with Krita animation is generally done using frames within each layer, which you control using the Animation Timeline Docker. For more information please check out these links: https://docs.krita.org/en/user_manual/animation.html https://docs.krita.org/en/reference_manual/dockers/animation_timeline.html#timeline-docker
I am using the timeline docker. have you seen the video?

It seems the click lingers for a bit longer after the pen is raised from the screen.
I want to add some more details, maybe they are useful. It only happens in Krita, only in the timeline docker, I didn't notice any "drag" after clicking elswewhere around the software. Happens with both wintab and windows ink, the drivers are the latest. In the video I clicked fast through the frames to make it happen quicker as a demonstration. Hoewever I reported this because it can happen with a single click in the timeline while working normally.
I've watched the video but I'm not seeing anything animation related exactly. The first half of the video is Adobe Photoshop stuff and the second half of the video seems to be about arranging elements on the canvas in Krita. I'm guessing you've accidentally uploaded the wrong video file for this bug. :) From your description it sounds like maybe you're getting accidental dragging and dropping behavior on the Krita timeline when you click with your tablet pen? And this is sometimes causing the frames to be lost entirely, if I understand correctly. I'll test around and see if I can reproduce that issue, but if you have another video then that might help too.

Ah, that's a completely unrelated recording, sorry. I've added the right one.
Thanks for your comment! Automatically switching the status of this bug to REPORTED so that the KDE team knows that the bug is ready to get confirmed. In the future you may also do this yourself when providing needed information.
Hey again Dynline, and thanks for the other video. :) So I can't exactly reproduce this issue on the latest master development branch, so it's possible that it's already been fixed. I've tested with both a mouse as well as my drawing tablet pen. Are you sure that you're not just accidentally dragging the animation keyframes on top of one another? Does the same thing happen if you slow down? I've noticed that it's somewhat easy to do that when tapping really quickly with a tablet pen, though I didn't have the problem as much as you seem to be, based on your video. Either way, there may be things we can do to make the drag-and-drop controls within the timeline more precise, so I'll keep that in mind whether this is an actual implementation bug or not.

Thank you for looking into that. I have tried again in 5.3.0 prealpha 4f60fd98, if I do slow clickling it happens way less often but I can still see the little white square with the arrow appearing next to the frames sometimes. If it's not a bug but a mix of the things in my setup making it worse I'll keep in mind to be careful when clicking on the timeline
Hey again Dynline, I want to let you know that I'm confirming this issue but reclassifying it as a wishlist item since it seems to be less of a bug and more of a potential usability improvement.
