Bug ID: 441644
Summary: Stay on top setting for multiple views (windows)
doesn't work properly.
Product: krita
Version: 4.4.8
Platform: Other
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Usability
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: lemp...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
If you enable subwindows in settings and open a new view or w new window then
set this view/window to "stay on top" (right click the window for its settings)
the window stays on top only and only if you do not touch it any more otherwise
it automatically maximizes. This means if you want to position it on screen
with the other view maximized you can't (so you have to guess where it should
be on screen so it doesn't get it way), if you accidentally click on it while
painting you have to redo the maximize/minimize again, if you want to pan in
the second view again you have to minimize it after, and so on, any action will
trigger this behaviour.
If you want to set up a second view to see your overall canvas, you have to
open the main project, then a new view, in the new view pan canvas and zoom
where you need to (don't forget to switch on "set on top"), move the view
wherever you want it on screen, then maximize the working window.
Win 10, Krita version: this has been a long going problem for as far as I
rememeber with Krita (year, two or so at least).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open the main project
2. open a new view
3. in the new view pan canvas and zoom where you need to (don't forget to
switch on "set on top"), move the view wherever you want it on screen
4. maximize the working window
5. Try to do anyt adjustments to the second view (simply just click on it is
enough to maximize it)
OBSERVED RESULT
Clicking or any other action on the second view will maximize the window.
EXPECTED RESULT
The second view/window stays the size you set it (doesn't maximize) where you
positioned it and you can do adjustments (such as pan canvas, zoom, ...) as you
want while the main view is staying in the background maximized so you can
fludily manipulate both.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This happens with both window or a new view - though I assume the problem is
exactly the same behind the scene.
