IPv6 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 There is still a problem with unreasonable switching of color when choosing Brush tool. Look at the video. On video i just trying to put colored line on the layer - but AP does not allow to do this in most straightforward way (choose color, switch to brush, start to draw). The same effect can be seen in other scenarios too. Imho: many of new users of AP start to use it from the very same thing. It`s the first intention to get a grip of new software - "draw a line of some color". So it may look funny (although dumping clear user intention without any reason is not funny at all, this is just plain not user-friendly), but actually this bug may give bad first impression of AP - "there is clearly something buggy, i can not choose color to draw a simple line" recorded in current beta (1.8.0.163) Screen_Recording_2020-01-10_at_11_42_23.mov Chris B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 You are right. There is no valuable reason why the colour is switching. Selecting Paint Brush Tool first and then selecting the colour is working as expected.

Staff Chris B Posted January 10, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 10, 2020 I agree this is weird. We logged it back in November and one of the developers said they also think this is a bit strange so we're just waiting for some feedback. I've bumped it just to make them aware it is still being raised on the forum.

IPv6 Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 There is still a problem with unreasonable switching of color when choosing Brush tool. This was reported already, but i hit this problem every session of using AP Look at the video at post below. On video i just trying to put colored line on the layer - but AP constantly switching active color without any reason, making previous color selection meaningles. And this problem arise not only with simple cases, this constantly happens when fixing images with different tools - and breaking image with wrong color every time brush is selected. Because previously active color (the right one for brush) became inactive for no reason. Really frustrating to check "what color brush have now?" after each and every B-key pressing // This problem was mentioned many times by other users also and affects all Affinity products:https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/99888-color-switching/&tab=comments#comment-534612 https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/101176-stop-switching-automatically-betwen-colors/&tab=comments#comment-542230https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/82944-stroke-fill-colors-switching-when-selecting-different-tools/&tab=comments#comment-436907 https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/45768-color-picker-can-i-stop-it-from-switching-colors/&tab=comments#comment-228835 https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/95266-foregroundbackground-colors-changes-place/&tab=comments#comment-508146 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
