SUMMARY When I lasso a selection on a layer I have drawn on and then go to the transform tool and drag and drop the pivot point from the centre, the free transform box disappears and I need to click back on the selection. When I do, the pivot point is back in the centre. This issue is only in a selection I have made and when I use the transform tool on a whole layer, I can move the pivot point and rotate about it. The issue persists regardless of resolution or file size, as I've tried it in other files. It's worth noting that in the file size segment, the instant preview data is inconsistent when it shows up. I have tried turning on and off instant preview mode and doing the same on the transform tool but it hasn't made a difference. It is also worth noting that I occasionally get a message saying "waiting for image operation to complete" when drawing many lines quickly, but it doesn't appear when transforming. This issue has persisted for about a week and has never been a problem before. I downloaded a newer krita version, but it didn't make a difference. I have a video of this issue that I'd be able to email if that would help? STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Lasso a selection of a drawn in layer with the select tool 2. click on the selection with the free transform tool 3. Drag the pivot point away from the centre OBSERVED RESULT Box of the transform tool disappears and only displays the selection until it's clicked back on. When this is done, the pivot point is back in the centre. EXPECTED RESULT The pivot point stays where dropped and can rotate about it. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 11 macOS: (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Could you please check whether the same issue was happening on 5.2.9, and if it wasn't, then check also 5.2.10? You can download portable ZIP files (no need for installation) here: https://download.kde.org/stable/krita/ (choose the version, then "krita-5.2.X.zip"). Also regarding the "waiting for image operation to complete...", you can subscribe to bug 509541 to get information when it gets fixed etc. It would also be useful if while checking the older versions, you also checked whether this dialog issue happens to you on the older versions as well or not.
It now doesn't let me move the pivot point when I use the free transform tool on a whole layer. This used to only happed within a selection.
Hi, jakeboy153! Could you please make a video recording of the issue? I cannot reproduce the issue here, perhaps I'm missing something. Btw, do you perform transformation with a tablet or with a mouse?
Created attachment 188323 [details] attachment-2567889-0.html The issue seems to have been resolved now. I think it was a background programme taking up too much ram. I can still provide a video though if it would be useful?
