SUMMARY
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gradients in Krita duplicate, alter, and display incorrectly after reopening a
.kra file.
This appears to affect:
* Gradient Overlay (Layer FX)
* Outline Fill (Layer FX)
* And other gradient based panels show a wrong/depreciated thumbnail.
Issues observed:
Wrong gradient thumbnails for gradients &
Re-selecting a gradient does not match its thumbnail
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Create a new document (at least 512x512 px).
2. Zoom in after creating the document.
3. Draw a rectangle filling the entire canvas.
4. Apply the “GPS Eye (Blue)” gradient in one of these ways:
5. Gradient Overlay (Layer FX)
6. Outline Fill (Layer FX)
7. Vector Shape Fill Gradient
8. Save the .kra file and close Krita.
9. Reopen Krita and observe:
10. Colors are missing or altered.
11. Duplicate gradients appear in presets.
12. Vector gradient thumbnails are incorrect.
13. Selecting a gradient applies a different result than the preview.
OBSERVED RESULT
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Gradients are altered on reload.
* Duplicate gradients are created.
* Vector gradient thumbnails are incorrect.
* Re-selecting a gradient applies the wrong colors.
EXPECTED RESULT
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Gradients should remain unchanged after reopening.
* No duplicate gradients should be created.
* Thumbnails should match actual gradients.

Always breaks with with layer FX, doesn't seem to break for vector gradients as
much it just breaks the thumbnail sometimes.

FINAL WORD:
Thank-you Krita devs for your software. I may be here reporting a bug, but I
love Krita. You have freed my from the Adobe curse and I am eternally grateful.
It's an honour to do my part where I can.
Unlike every bug report that seemed to fall on deaf earts with Adobe, I feel my
time is wisely invested. :)
I just see you guys copping way too much flack from randoms on the forum when
this to me is the best free Photoshop replacement I have ever encountered. (And
I have tried GIMP... a lot.) I think your free opensource product is actually
comparable to the likes of Affinity Photo. I think together we can do anything
we put our minds to empower artists.
Keep up the good work, and don't hesitate to reach about anything.
