video demonstration of the bug
DESCRIPTION
Hi! I loved the ability to work on multiple projects and copy and paste layers
that I made in other projects into my current ones. But it seems with latest
updates in version 6.0+ in Krita I cannot do that.
Whenever I switch between the tabs on top of the screen, Krita would ALWAYS
remain on the latest opened project despite me switching to the other tab,
while overview docker of the project changes as well as the Layers preview
docker and the rest of the UI elements. The only thing that doesn't change is
the viewport.
To make it easier to comprehend the nature of the problem, I've recorded the
video where the bug is clearly visible.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch Krita 6.0.4-2
2. Open 2 or more projects
3. Try switching between the projects and editing layers
OBSERVED RESULT
Krita won't change the view-port when switching between multiple project tabs.
EXPECTED RESULT
Krita always allowed users to work on multiple projects and seamlessly switch
between them.
