Roy Blumenthal <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |REPORTED Resolution|INTENTIONAL |--- --- Comment #2 from Roy Blumenthal <[email protected]> --- Thanks for responding, Halla. Much appreciated. When you say, "Sorry, we're not going to do this," which part are you referring to? All of it? Right this second, I'm prepping for a live drawing session that will take place on Tuesday. Using the new text tool, I'm unable to do simple things that are possible in the old tool. Such as copy-pasting a character from a different font into a current line of text. (Example: I use a different ampersand character. So, in the line "Regulation & Compliance, & Treasury", I have to highlight the first ampersand, make it smaller, and assign a different font to that character, and italicise it. In the old text tool, I would do that ONCE, and copy the newly formatted character, then paste it into the second instance, and it would retain the new formatting. Now, with the new text tool, whatever I copy-paste takes on the formatting of the already-present text. It strips the sizing, italicisation, and font from the pasted character. This is not a feature. This is a bug. Such as having a list of recently used fonts at the beginning of the font list, AND, situating the cursor at the currently selected font. In the old version, that's exactly how things WORKED. In the new version, there is no list of recently used fonts. And no matter what font I'm using, when I press the font arrow to open the list of fonts, it starts at the very top of the list of fonts. Is this a feature? No. It's a bug. Such as having a visual horizontal list of the usual text formatting options.. U(underline) B(bold) I(italic) [ ] Font Size, etcetera, which I can just hit with my stylus or mouse cursor and format the highlighted text. Not any more. Now, if I want to make something smaller, I have to scroll to the font size tool in the correct tab. I have to then scroll down and click on the "Font Style" dialogue, and scroll within that to the "Slant" dropdown and FIND the "italic" option there. And I have to do this WITH EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER OR WORD OR LINE OF TEXT that needs to be changed! Come on! If you're going to insist that this is a feature, I don't know what to say. IT'S A BUG! So if you're going to ignore this user, and make blanket statements about what you're NOT going to fix, you're actually telling me two things... You're telling me that you don't give a darn about user experience, and that I should look for another tool. And you're telling me to revert to the previous version of Krita. I don't know what authority you have in the project. I don't know if you speak on behalf of the whole team. I hope not. You clearly aren't in a position to understand my bug report. And I would dearly like someone who uses text in Krita to actually evaluate what I'm talking about. Krita 5.3 is an excellent leap forward. But the text editing UI and UX are broken. This user CANNOT use the new text tool. Please fix it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
