Bug ID: 514390
Summary: Changing text to a light color makes it disappear
Classification: Applications
Product: krita
Version First nightly build (please specify the git hash!)
Reported In:
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Tool/Text
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
If I'm in the text tool and try to change a piece of text to a light color, it
disappears. The diamond that is on the bottom left of the text box is still on
the screen, until I click somewhere else, but if I go to transform it says the
layer is empty. The work around I have been using is to go to the selector tool
and I can change colors fine that way, but if I reopen the text tool, the light
text will disappear.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a text box using the text tool
2. still in the text tool, change the color of the text to something light. If
the CYMK view is open in the specific color selector, it seems to be any color
where the amount of black is 134 or less
3.
OBSERVED RESULT
Text disappears
EXPECTED RESULT
Text changes to the selected color

downloaded Dec 23, 2025 and downloaded a newer instance on Jan 9 2026 hoping a
solution might have already been found, but am still facing this issue.)
