SUMMARY Selection Actions Bar disappears when toggling off the visibility of the selection This shouldn't happen because the selection still technically exists even if you toggle the visibility of the selection "marching ants." Only when you perform a Deselect does the selection truly stop existing. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Select something on the canvas to show Selection Actions Bar. 2. Toggle off the visibility of selection: Select -> Display Selection OBSERVED RESULT Selection Actions Bar disappears EXPECTED RESULT Selection Actions Bar doesn't disappear SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Krita 5.3.1 arm64 Android 16
This would be trivial to fix, but i am not sure if it needs fixing. To me it makes sense that the SAB would disappear when disabling the other selection decoration.
^ My reasoning is that someone who has the bar enabled might be misled into thinking the absence of the bar suggests the lack of an existing selection. I figured that if someone didn't care for the bar, they'd disable it entirely in the Configure Krita menu. But that's just my opinion, of course. :)
