Bug ID: 517288
Summary: Layer masks naming incorrect in canvas contextual
messages
Classification: Applications
Product: krita
Version First 5.2.16
Reported In:
Platform: Appimage
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: Layer Stack
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When switching layers, a contextual message in the top left area of the canvas
hints users with the newly selected layer name. If this layer is a mask (for
instance a transparency mask or color overlay mask), the name displayed is the
parent layer’s name, not the layer mask’s name itself.
This is mostly confusing when the layers docker is not visible on screen and
the user switches layers by another mean, like hitting PageUp or PageDown keys.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add a mask to a layer (for instance, a transparency mask) and leave the
default naming unchanged (or make sure it has a different name than its parent)
2. Have any other layer selected, then switch to the aforementioned
transparency mask
3. Pay attention to the contextual message that briefly appears in the top left
region of the canvas
OBSERVED RESULT
The name displayed is the parent layer’s name.
EXPECTED RESULT
The name displayed should be the mask’s actual name.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Fedora Linux 43 workstation
Gnome 49
Wayland session
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The bug has been seen in the both current stable (5.2.16) and beta (5.3.0)
versions. I don’t know whether the correct behaviour has been present earlier
or not.
