Bug ID: 398643
Summary: Selection tool shouldn't automatically turn into move
selection tool
Product: krita
Version: git master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Tools/Selection
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: storm.ant...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Recently the selection tool behavior changed.
Expected behavior: The selection tool is always the selection tool.
Actual behavior: The selection tool automatically turns into move selection
tool when over an existing selection. The user is forced to hold down the
modifier key of the respective selection mode (replace, Add, etc.) just to stop
this automatic behavior.
This is a reversed logic: A tool changing into another tool on its own as we
move it around, and having to hold down a key just to stop this and preserve
the behavior we set it to. Moreover I have to hold a different key to preserve
its behavior based on which mode I was in. This is confusing, inconsistent and
counter-intuitive.
Suggestion: Changing into a move selection tool should be invoked by holding a
modifier key instead. This is more predictable and consistent behavior for both
the selection and the move selection tools.
Note: I understand the demand for an easy way to move selections, but
automatically changing tools based on if the cursor is inside or outside the
selection outline makes much less sense (esp. in case of complex selections)
than changing them precisely when we want, and only if we want, via holding
down a key.
