DESCRIPTION The toolbar action "Show Painting Assistants" doesn't do the action immediately, only doing so when you click/pinch-zoom on the canvas STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Choose the Assistant tool 2. In Tool Options docker, choose Spline, and add the spline on the canvas 3. Go to Settings, Configure Toolbars, add "Show Painting Assistants" to your toolbar 4. Tap on the "Show Painting Assistants" button on the toolbar OBSERVED RESULT The spline doesn't toggle on the canvas immediately. It will only do so once you tap or pinch-zoom on the canvas EXPECTED RESULT The spline toggles on the canvas immediately, like it would happen if you did so via the View menu --> Show Painting Assistants. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Android 17 Krita 5.3.2.1 arm64
Additional note: The Observed Result mentioned above happens when using touch taps (with your finger). After performing step 4 with a mouse, the spline will only toggle once you hover the mouse cursor over the canvas.
