So here I am trying to paint an environment and deciding to change some brush settings and boom there is a gaint brush preferences window smiling at me. Well I can just send resize it, but it takes at leat 30 seconds until it refreshes this window. Is there a bug report about this already? The resizing starts at 3rd second in case you do not see my interaction. The rest is wait for a response ---

Did you try to disable all your imported plugins first? I’m asking, because it can be a malfunctioning plugin. For me, if ever, this oversized representation of Krita’s Window or dialogs of Krita only happen once directly with the first start after a fresh installation of Krita or the OS (I’m using the portable versions of Krita). After my first resizing of Krita, this does not happen again. Michelist ---

As I tagged the topic, I am showing a recording of my android tablet screen. There are, as you know, no plugins available on android. 😉 ---

Yes there is a bug report about it [https://bugs.kde.org/show\_bug.cgi?id=523346](https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=523346) Can’t reproduce it. ---

LOL, I guess I fell into a trap of my own making. Since I’m familiar with the problem in a different context, I didn’t even notice your tag anymore. Michelist ---

What can I do to help? ---

If you can find steps to take to reproduce this issue, that would help a lot. You can try to install the [Krita Plus nightly build](https://cdn.kde.org/ci-builds/graphics/krita/krita-6.0/android-arm64-v8a/), which Android treats as a separate “Krita Next” application and starts you from a blank slate. If you can find a way to make the problem happen there that I could make happen as well, I’d say it’s pretty likely I could fix or work around it. ---

Is this for all brushes or is it a particular brush or two? For me, I’ve noticed a few do this, not all of them. 🤷 ---

Well it is sporadically appearing. Here I tried to modify the leaves stamp. But it doesn’t have to be that way … Maybe it happened after I imported a bundle? 🤔 But you should not undock the preference window with that little checkbox at the bottom right. Then you have no possibility to move or resize the window.
