Apologies for taking so long to get back to this thread, Boudewijn and Dmitry. I've had other matters that required my attention. Though, I am happy to report that the issue is resolved. Long story short, completely disabling the Canvas Graphics Acceleration resolved this issue. It also resolved the instability Krita 64-bit began to suffer from that forced me to switch to the 32-bit version. Short story long, over the weekend I tried a few times to uninstall Krita with RevoUnistaller and IOBit's uninstaller to see if that might resolve the issue. (This also involved changing and deleting some copies of the kritarc file. I still encountered the same problem with the 64-bit. Finally, I decided to uninstalled Krita 64-bit with one of the two abovementioned uninstallers. Then, I removed all the files Krita stores in the %LocalAppData% folder and stored those in a folder on my desktop. I cannot remember if I moved those file before or after reinstalling Krita 64-bit. But I know they were moved prior to starting Krita 64-bit for the first time. Unbeknownst to me, Krita automatically turned off the Canvas Graphics Acceleration. Since this latest installation, Krita is working as expected. I can close documents without it crashing, and they close right away without any lag or unresponsiveness. I went ahead and created two sample .kra files to see if that might cause a crash, just to be safe. Other than a slight lag after clicking the Create button when making these A4 300ppi files, I experienced no issues. Also, if I recall correctly, after the final install I did a substantial amount of work on a file with no issues. Overall, the software seems to work as designed given what features I have used to this point. In fact, it is working much better than prior to this display change. I even went ahead and installed the 4.2.6 to see if it would work properly. Work properly it did. It seems that having previously installed different iterations of both the 32-bit and 64-bit version of Krita lead the 4.2.5 version to incorrectly turn on the Canvas Acceleration. Though, it seems like this might be a bit of an ID10T error given my sloppy computer housekeeping. I'm going to attach all the files from my %LocalAppData% that I removed. I will also include the current Krita files from that said folder. I appreciate everyone's time helping me with this issue and I hope this report can help with the development of future iterations. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
