Bug ID: 428080
Summary: Krita does not handle focus gain properly when
switching to its workspace using a keyboard shortcut
Product: krita
Version: 4.4.0
Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: bennycaguil...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
If I switch to a workspace with Krita open using a keyboard shortcut in i3,
some functionality breaks until I refocus Krita using a mouse action,
restarting i3 in place, or some similar refocus action. Some things that stop
working are: 4 and 6 keys to rotate the canvas, shift-drag to resize the brush,
and ctrl-click to pick colors.
The Krita windows is definitely focused, and other actions such as Ctrl-Z and
drawing still work properly. I am guessing the issue is related to the canvas
widget itself not receiving a focus event when Krita is focused using a
keyboard-shortcut workspace-switch (alt-tab doesn't cause the issue for me on
XFCE, so it has to be a workspace switch), and therefore not receiving keyboard
events.
The issue also occurs for me on XFCE, and another user confirms it occurs
similarly on their MATE desktop. Previous discussion on krita-artists.org here:
https://krita-artists.org/t/cetrain-key-combinations-dont-work-after-switching-workspace-to-krita-linux/13001
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Krita on workspace A
2. Switch to workspace B
3. Switch back to workspace A using a keyboard shortcut
OBSERVED RESULT
Shift-drag does not change brush size, ctrl-click does not pick color, and 4
and 6 keys do not rotate the canvas.
EXPECTED RESULT
All actions work as if Krita had been focused using a mouse
