Bug ID: 501474
Summary: Krita reports the wrong rectangular selection
dimensions when in Intersection mode.
Classification: Applications
Product: krita
Version: 5.2.6
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Tools
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: strumbor...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
It is helpful to know the dimensions of the current rectangular selection.
Unfortunately, Krita misreports that information in the Tool Options section
under Width and Height when the Action is set to Intersect. Unlike Photoshop,
selections that begin outside the canvas are not immediately cropped to the
canvas space on completion. A workaround for this is to select the entire
canvas, change the Rectangular Selection tool's Action mode to Intersect, and
make your selection. Now the region is cropped to the canvas space. However,
Krita only reports the most recent rectangular dimensions before the
intersection happens. This makes verifying dimensions for trim sheets
incredibly frustrating as even snapping to guides doesn't work reliably, which
is another issue.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Choose the Rectangular Selection tool.
2. Go to the Tool Options area.
3. Change the Action mode to "Intersect".
4. Select the entire canvas.
5. make a rectangular selection that begins outside the canvas and ends inside
the canvas.
OBSERVED RESULT
The resulting region will be cropped to the canvas, as intended, but Krita will
report the dimensions of the original selection before the intersection
happens...which is useless information and NOT what the dimensions of that
selection is!
EXPECTED RESULT
Krita should report the Width and Height dimensions of the current (final)
selection, which is the intersected selection.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Microsoft Windows 11 Home: 10.0.22621 Build 22621
Krita 5.2.6 (git ab3502b)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Quality-of-Life suggestion: When I am using that rectangular selection tool, I
want it to crop to the canvas region by default. Barring that, when I look in
the Tool Options for that tool, I want to see a toggle to automatically crop
all selections to the canvas. The Width and Height dimensions of a selection
should ALWAYS report correctly!
