Bug ID: 428321 Summary: Selection Tools Have Unexpected Subtractive Behaviour Product: krita Version: 4.3.0 Platform: Microsoft Windows OS: Microsoft Windows Status: REPORTED Severity: wishlist Priority: NOR Component: Tools/Selection Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: 3rto...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY The selection tools in Krita (4.3. 4.4. nightly 12 Oct) have inconsistent/unexpected behaviour in subtractive mode. When one has no pre-existing custom selection on the canvas (i.e the whole canvas is selected hence paintable) invoking a selection in subtractive mode unintuitively selects whatever shape is being draw, rather than selection everything else on the canvas. This behaviour is unexpected for two key reasons 1) It has no distinctive behaviour compared to 'Replace' or 'Add' modes even thought it is a distinct mode. 2) The logical conclusion user makes "I'm SUBTRACTING this area from my paint-able area hence masking it off" results in unexpected result since what the tool actually does is the opposite of this expectation (When there is no pre-existing selection) Though, considering this seems to be how it has always worked I'm assuming this is more of a design thing than a bug. Still I think it would be something worth altering eventually since it would make more sense that way. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Select lasso tool 2. Press S to enter subtractive mode 3. Draw around an object with the intention of removing its surroundings 4. Press delete OBSERVED RESULT You have deleted your object that you were trying to subtract from your selection EXPECTED RESULT You have deleted everything around your object.
