Hey e05035, I also use this function by default for drawing, and it's common
that in the "eraser device mode" , one happen to select accidentally any type
of other preset, and Krita will then just use this preset on the Eraser device.
This type of confusion happens often here, then it's hard to know what preset
is on the "Pen device", and what preset is on the "Eraser device". Krita can
put any type of preset (even non eraser) on the "Eraser device"... So, in my
case I plugged on the top of my toolbar an icon to see when I'm in the "Eraser
device" mode, this way I have a feedback about what mode I'm into. And I press
my key again to return to the "Pen device" before selecting a brush preset.
I think what confuse you is the name of the shortcut, "Toggle Eraser Preset".
It's not, and this label wasn't well designed.
This function "Toggle the stylus to simulate flipping it and using a Eraser
device", but once flipped, you can put any type of Brush Preset on it. By
default, it's an eraser for convenience, but as soon as you select a brush
preset while you are still on "Eraser Device" you associate it with the "Eraser
Device" (even if it is not a Eraser Preset, all preset works, that was designed
this way to allow people using the other side of their stylus as they wanted,
to smear, smudge, paint, etc).
But, if you are 100% sure the function has a bug, we'll need precise steps
where Krita do the bug and it is reproducible all the time. Because here, with
the same rigg as you have and I can't reproduce it. But I agree the label is
bad, and the feature is confusing (and also the top toolbar icon I use is by
default the same one as the "Eraser mode" adding another level of confusion).
Eraser in Krita is a mess, always have been, and I have more than 10 years of
workaround on this part of the software. I sincerly hope this part will receive
love and attention at one point, but I understand it is not a priority.
I'm turning this report in NEEDSINFO/WAITINGFORINFO mode, so if you find the
clear steps to reproduce the bug into your next painting session, you'll be
able to enter them here. I hope my post gave you some info on how to use Toggle
Eraser Preset function.
