Bug ID: 419715
Summary: Ctrl (and main tool) colour selectors (pickers) have
incorrect icons.
Product: krita
Version: 4.2.9
Platform: Debian stable
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: Usability

Simple colour blocks for testing
SUMMARY
This is a 'papercut' UI problem so I've marked it as Minor. It's been present
for a long time in all versions.
The colour selector icon can be either an eyedropper alone or an eyedropper
with a small 'multi-layer' symbol added to it. This 'alone' or 'multi-layer'
presentation does not always correspond to the action of the colour selector.
I attach a simple two layer plus white background colour blocks .kra file for
convenience of checking/testing.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the attached file and use the main or Ctrl colour picker as follows,
noting which colour (if any) is selected.
2. Choose the main Colour Selector tool from the Toolbox then use it with
'Update Colour' option enabled in the Tool Options docker and alternately use
Sample Current Layer or Sample All Visible Layers selected.
3. Note that it works according to the options but that the icon always
indicates 'multi-layer'.
4. Choose the Freehand Brush Tool from the Toolbox and use the Ctrl key colour
selector to select a colour.
5. Note that it selects a colour from all layers but has no 'multi-layer'
indicator on the icon.
6. Use Ctrl+Alt to bring up the colour selector and note that it only selects a
colour from the current layer but it has a 'multi-layer' indicator on the icon.
7. Note that the operation of the Ctrl(+Alt) selector is independent of the
Tool Option settings for the main Colour Selector tool.
OBSERVED RESULT
See Steps Notes
EXPECTED RESULT
3. The icon should indicate if it's in 'current layer' or 'multi-layer' mode.
5+6. The icon should indicate its mode but is the wrong way around in both
cases.
