SUMMARY Krita has a very high chance to crash when finishing a transform operation on a large group of nested layers (group layers inside group layers). It even happens when the layer consists of only simple paint layers, though some with different blend mode. No filter layers, no fill layers, no vectors layers. However, I have no idea what triggers the crash, and I never seen people mention this crash. It also happens rather randomly. Sometimes it doesn't crashes for the first transform, but it will happen if I transform again. Sometimes it crashes immediately for the first transform. I once thought it was related to swap but it still happen when I had swapoff-ed my OS and I still have plenty of free memory. The only message I got from the terminal is: > Segmentation fault I have seen this behavior since Krita 4. My workaround is to always save before I do a transformation, and if the crash insists, I will just merge them into one layer and then transform it, but then I will lose all the granularity, and it's also very annoying to keep restarting Krita. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a big group of nested layers (I don't know how many layers is big enough, but it almost only happen on big groups). 2. Use transform to move or resize. 3. Commit the change. 4. Krita may crash (sometimes it doesn't crash for the first commit) OBSERVED RESULT Complete and sudden crash. "Segmentation fault" EXPECTED RESULT No crash.
