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.
