Okay- I have a nitpicky bug report I've been dealing with ever since I discovered Krita (just a couple months ago). I use Krita on a Samsung Series 7 Slate tablet (very similar to the Surface Pro). It uses a Wacom feel digitizer.
Here is my bug. I really love the pop-up toolbar. I mean it is arguably my favorite feature of Krita. However, I have a heckuva time trying to get it to pull up properly. Under default settings (with my pen buttons set to right and middle click functionality), I can't get it to pull up. So I go in to tweak with the default shortcuts. Only what seems to happen is that if I set something to utilize the right click in the settings, in actuality it uses the middle click. And if I set something to middle click, it uses the right click. After a lot of fooling around, I found that by setting the pop-up menu to use the middle click + Alt I can get it to pop-up with right-click + alt, although then it only pops up temporarily and goes away when the click finishes :/ The best solution I have found is to set it to left-click+alt, but the only issue then is that with my left click down, it automatically takes me into choosing a new color in the pop-up menu.
I realize this may all sound a bit confusing (its very strange to me too), but I am reporting this with high hopes we can get it fixed soon?
Thanks so much!!

I'm not sure if what you're dealing with is the same as the problem I had but here's my workaround just in case. In the Wacom Tablet Properties, I added Krita as a separate application to make preferences for the grip pen and disabled the right click. That's it. The pop-up toolbar appeared properly after that without disappearing at the end of the click.

PixelSprite - how did you setup wacom tablet for krita only? I do not see any wacom preferences per application setup. I'm on win 7

Ok- So I stumbled across the other thread in this forum about Wintab and such and fiddled around a bit and finally figured out a solution. Basically I had to add a modifier key (Alt) with the Middle mouse set as my shortcut key for the pop-up. Then I disabled Right-click in my PC settings, but set the bottom pen button to right-click in the Wacom settings. Really bizarre workaround, but hey it does work.

PixelSprite - unfortunately like other Wacom Feel tabPCs, the Wacom preferences utility is extremely (and unfairly in my opinion) limited. You can't setup app specific functionality or pop-up menus like you can with the other Wacom products

In other news, during this process with the latest Beta 1 build, I hit the restore defaults button in the Configure Krita settings and apparently disabled Wintab entirely for that build. I ended up having to revert to an earlier build (one of the later ones in the Wintab thread). I tried re-installing the Beta 1 build but to no great effect. Any clue how to solve this?

Hm, that doesn't sound very likely -- there is no way to disable tablet support from within Krita. You can try to remove the user settings -- c:\Users/you\AppData\Local\krita and c:\Users/you\AppData\Roaming\krita.

There's a new build coming up, btw.

New builds:

http://heap.kogmbh.net/downloads/krita_x86_2.7.9.4.msi
http://heap.kogmbh.net/downloads/krita_x64_2.7.9.4.msi

Lots of bug fixes and hopefully better behaved under lower-memory conditions. Please do give them a good test. I've also updated the KDE dependencies to 4.12.

You might have to remove the input\kritadefault.profile from the krita config directory, The edit/resources menu has an option to open explorer directly in the right place now.

JoseConseco - Sorry for the late reply. If you have a Wacom tablet plugged in, you should be able to open Wacom Tablet Properties (a Start menu search should bring it up). Provided that Krita is open, you can then click on the plus on the right side and select Krita from the list to add specific preferences for. A couple pictures for what I mean:

Thanks for the new build! What became immediately apparent - right click on stylus works as it should! (I was suspecting that judging what you guys wrote in bug report But nice that it was confirmed).
Other than that... everything looks fine
In such short time Krita on windows became a beast - I remember I had to have Linux just for Krita few months back and now? Brilliant! Thank you so much. I also like a small little thing that Kritas window no longer starts in weird size - much appreciated. Now, lets sketch something shall we?

PixelSprite -thx. I found it.
Textured brushes are can be now fluidly scaled with shift key awesome .
But right click won't work for me. It still disappears as soon as I release right pen click button. Popup pops but I cannot select brush. Previously I could disable right click in wacom preferences to force poput to stay at top, but now it won't work.
edit: Wacom setup of pen buttons that are shown on PixelSprite screen works ok though... Seems middle mouse button is more stable as popup palette.

Sadly thats true. When I actually started to use it (instead of just clicking like I did to check for first time, so I didn't noticed and I wrote over-zealously positive comment .... ) it turned out that pop up shows up, but brush cant be selected.

Try settup of wacom buttons as on PixelSprite image. it works

It does work indeed. Thanks!

That fixed it. Thank you. After some further tinkering I managed to repro the problem. Apparently when I turn on OpenGL support my strokes don't display as I draw them, it acts pretty funky to be honest. This never happened in earlier builds. That said, I'm sure my graphics card has much to be desired and I get pretty decent performance panning/zooming with just a bit lag on rotation, when I have OpenGL off, so no biggie. Thanks again!

Is your graphics card a radeon?

Same thing here.
The popup palette disappears as soon as I release the right click button on the stylus. If I hold down the stylus button and try to select a brush, I get nothing.
