Bug ID: 475860
Summary: Quick-ungrouping a group with a mask may lead to data
loss
Classification: Applications
Product: krita
Version: 5.2.0
Platform: Ubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Layer Stack
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: paleh21...@proton.me
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When ungrouping a group containing any mask (except a selection mask) the
layers located below the mask are correctly ungrouped, whereas the mask and the
all layers above are deleted. Undoing this operation doesn't bring the mask
back, leading to a potential data loss.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a group with at least one layer
2. Create a mask (e.g. a transparency mask) inside the group, and place it
below a layer. The mask should be applied to the group itself, not the layer.
3. Execute some operations on the mask (e.g. draw some strokes if it's a
transparency)
4. Right click the group layer and do Group->Quick Ungroup
5. Press undo.
6. Press undo.
OBSERVED RESULT
After step 4, the layers above the mask have disappeared.
After step 5, the group is back, but it no longer contains the mask.
After step 6, which should undo the last operation done in step 3, nothing
happens, as there is no mask to apply the change to. If the user can undo until
step 1, then pressing "redo" enough times will bring the mask and all the work
back. However if the undo stack has been exceeded, all the work done in step 3
will be lost.
EXPECTED RESULT
When ungrouping, layers above the mask should not get lost.
Masks should be at least recoverable through undo and, ideally, available after
the ungrouping. For example filter and transparency mask could get converted to
filter and transparency layers (maybe this should happen whenever a mask is
created/dragged inside a group layer?). Alternatively, ungrouping could just
push the regular layers outside the group while keeping the group layer as the
container for the masks, if they are present.
