Continuous Selection Tool - Bug?

Hi,

I’m using the Krita 5.0 beta, and I noticed a possible bug when I was using the Continuous Selection Tool.

When I only have the ink/line art layer, it works perfectly; however, when I have a base layer, it selects only that entire section in the base layer even though, in the Tool Options, I have it set to All Layers.

I have tried turning Anti-aliasing on and off; however, this persists.

Thank you for your help!

With the same document and settings, do you get different results with the 4.4.8 or earlier versions?

When you have it set to All Layers, that’s “all visible layers” so could that explain the results you’re seeing?

I watched your video but it’s a complex image and a complex layer structure so I had difficulty in following what was happening.
Can you contruct a simple document with a simple image that illustrates the problem?

Hi @AhabGreybeard,

In version 4.4.7, it worked perfectly. It would select the section perfectly and not the surrounding area.

I have tried it again, and this time, I noticed that it happens if “Ink” layer has a low opacity, this did not happen in 4.4.7.

Thank you for your help and time in trying to solve this issue!

@LaTor I do see the difference you describe (between 4.4.7 and 5.0.0-beta1) and it happebns when the Ink Layer is reduced in opacity.

I’m puzzled by the fact that what I think of as your ink does not reduce in opacity as seen on the video. You seem to have some ink on the base layer?

Where you able to follow along with the video?

I don’t have any ink on the base layer. I keep all the layers separate, so the base layer only have the color that I chose to fill it with.

@gvintyrion and @LaTor I’ve marked the first post as off-topic and so the moderators will probably split that subject out into a new topic when they find the time.

@LaTor In your video at 0:19 when you reduce opacity of the ‘ink’ layer, it stays black in those places, but looking a bit ‘rough’. That confused me.

Regardless of that, there is a difference in behaviour from 4.4.7 to 5.0.0-beta1.
I think that 4.4.7 is correct and that 5.0.0-beta1 has some problem dealing with reduced opacity.

It would be good to have developer opinion on this and someone may know about any changes in this area.

If you do raise a bug report, please put a link to it here and I’ll go in to Confirm it.
