Bug ID: 433305
Summary: Krita crashes when performing a copy of empty layers
or groups
Product: krita
Version: 4.4.2
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: Layer Stack

GDB backtrace "thread apply all bt full" (Please let me know if this is correct
method or not)
SUMMARY
Since update to Krita 4.4.2 on my Manjaro Linux (KDE Plasma 5.20.5) machine, I
get an immediate, non-graceful segmentation fault every time I perform copy
operation on the following:
A.) 100% empty layers
B.) Groups which have all content within it either empty or have the visibility
attribute set to false.
In other words: as long as the component being copied in the Layers menu has an
empty thumbnail, copying it will cause Krita to crash. Interestingly, a
non-empty layer with its visibility attribute toggled off still has a
thumbnail, and does NOT cause a crash. Groups appear to be subtly different in
that they evaluate their thumbnail based on the layers/subgroups within them.
After consistently reproducing this issue, I down-graded Krita back down to
4.4.1, and I do not encounter this issue. I promptly built Krita 4.4.2-2 from
source with debug symbols enabled and recorded some GDB backtraces of the event
which I will attach here. I will also attach some logs of console output +
additional system information promptly.
Scenarios that crash (that I have observed so far):
1. Copy an empty layer (Layer with alpha channel, with nothing drawn on it).
2. Copy an empty group (With no contents at all).
3. Copy an occupied group, with all layers/groups within it being empty or
non-visible.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. New Document
2. Attempt to "Control-C" or "Edit > Copy" on the first selected empty layer.
3. Observe immediate Segmentation Fault and exit.
OBSERVED RESULT
Krita crashes and closes silently.
EXPECTED RESULT
I would expect the behavior of the previous versions, which I believe was:
1. Copies of actual nothingness are handled gracefully, preferably ignored.
2. Copies of empty layers copy the empty layer as is.
3. Copies of groups with non-visible/empty sub-components get copied
recursively and retain underlying structure + attributes.
