Krita does not draw whole picture

Sun Feb 17, 2019 4:12 pm
Hi,

I'm having following issue with Krita:

I have drawn a picture on a vector layer, with a colorize mask. Those two layers are inside a group, which has a transform mask.
Whenever I open the drawing, it only shows part of it. (see screenshot posted below).

If I disable the transform mask, disable the vector layer, and reenable them, it is fixed.

This is troublesome because I have more layers in my final drawing and it happens often that I only see part of the drawing. Also, if I export this, it will export it as shown on my screen.

I'm using Krita on GNOME with xorg on Fedora.

EDIT: If I open the same file with Krita 4.1.7 on Windows 10, I have the same issue

Any idea what is going on? How I can fix this or debug this further?

I've just made a colourised vector drawing with the same structure as yours (with a simple skew plus rotation transform) and had no problem when I Saved it and later Opened it.

Can you post a link to the .kra file that is giving you this problem?

Thank you for that - it's 'interesting'. There is a problem as you say.

I used three overlapping circles for my attempt that worked so I wonder if the complexity of the image is a factor in this. I tried isolating your vector drawing and reapplying the colourise, group and transform actions and it had serious problems when opened. I also converted the drawing to a raster layer and remade it and it still had problems.

The cause seems to be the Transform layer being active when the file is opened. If you can save it with the transform layer inactive then it opens and displays ok, then you can turn the transform layer on. This is not a good thing to have to do of course.

This needs a bug report so please do that and provide your original as an attachment to the report: https://bugs.kde.org/
(You need to sign up to use it but it's a free and fun activity.)

There is a workaround for it. if you remove the transform layer, make a clone layer of the group, then apply the transform to the clone, that will open and display fine with no problems (in my limited recent experience of 'fixing' your image). It may be some kind of internal 'fight' going on between the colourise operations and the transform operation within a group. I'm just guessing and the developers will have to look into it.

Thanks! I will use a clone layer for now and create a bug report by the end of the week.
