Krita's brush size is locked?

Sun Jan 19, 2014 6:54 pm
I'll try to explain this as well as I can.

I started using Krita a few moments ago.
I noticed that after some time of using it, Krita somehow locks the brush sizer to always 1.00.
I've tried to change it, but it always scales back to 1.00 and I haven't yet found any setting for unlocking it.

Have I just missed something or is this a bug?
I'm using a version 2.7 or something.

How exactly are you trying to change the brush size? There are several methods:

* shift-drag on the canvas. Press shift, click and drag
* move the size slider around
* enter a value in the size slider
* click on the small up and down buttons of the size slider, either with a mouse or a stylus

The latter, when done with a stylus, is currently known to reset the size to 1 after some time.

I actually have tried each one of those while it's been locked.

*Shift-drag doesn't actually do anything while locked, it just locks the cursor for the time.
*Moving the slider; I can see the changed value for about 0.01 second and then it resets to 1.00.
*Entering a value to the slider; I type an amount and press enter for it to accept, it resets to 1.00
*Clicking those small buttons doesn't do anything.

I've re-installed the program now and I'm going to sleep so I'll come back to check this thread "tomorrow".


*EDIT*

Ah, I'm so sorry. I guess I was tired and this "issue" is only with curve_ brushes.

I can't seem to scale that brush's size from 1.00.
I'm not sure if this is meant to be and I DO apologize that I didn't notice it earlier and that this might be a very pointless thread post.
I'm sorry if you wasted your time on this.

actually im having the same problem right now except its every single brush. i havnt messed with any settings or anything. i cant kind anything on this issue except this thread which obviously doesnt help me much since its not just a certain brush type... im getting super discouraged and am starting to kinda hate drawing now. ive been having so many issues with krita lately that i hardly ever touch it.

Hi @penelopemask and @suomu

There is a possibility to lock all the size of the brush in Krita ; using the little padlock in the brush-editor here:



This one can be accidentally turned ON with a double-click on the 'Size' label, or with a mis-click.
Can you check if this padlock is locked on your Krita?
That would explain having the Size locked with every brushes...
