This is the second painting that crashed for me. I have reported a crash before. The image was a character study for a new storybook. The scan was a small graphite drawing, 1046 x 1592 8bit RGB at 150 dpi. I traced the drawing by using an InkPen. Removed the graphite scan and filld that layer with White. Addes a new layer and used the same InkPen and the Paint bucket tool to add some colour to the drawing. The crash came when I moved my cursor from the Pen tool to the Paint bucket. The program just disappeared. Poof! And I lost my work. No damage done. Just a sketch anyway. But it should not behave like that...

I have tried to force Krita crash again by reconstructing my movements and painting. But no. It won't crash again. Strange.

I am on Win 8.1 64 bit 8GB RAM

Hm... I wonder whether that's one of the things we actually fixed in the latest build. Are you already using 2.7.9.6? Otherwise, in the absence of reproducibility, it's hard to find a fix

I had two more crashes this morning! I did a check on CPU and Memory wen painting in Krita. It was OK, just as much work on the CPU and memory usage as in Painter that I compared to. The crashes came as I was just painting, just like Before. Poof! Everything gone. I used CCleaner to remove my 2.7.9.5 version and made a clean new install with the new 2.7.9.6. If threre are any problems I will report back. Still I am very interested in Krita. Really..!

Have a nice day!
