(StudioLink) Drawing on a pixel layer nested in a vector layer produces strange artefacts

[iuli]

Unless it’s M1 specific, it’s easy to reproduce: make a vector layer, drag a pixel layer inside it and start drawing with raster brushes. Happens with all the documents I have tried this on, in StudioLink.

The raster brushes are “glitching” every time I draw

If you are trying to paint within that vector layer (that is, you have a pixel layer nested within the vector), then I think this is a known bug from V1 that remains unfixed.

This happened very rarely in V1 (I have hundreds of documents made with both raster and vector elements combined made with V1 and I don’t recall to have this bug, ever).

I reinstalled AD1 and there’s no such bug with it.

With StudioLink, this bug happens every time, if the pixel layer is nested inside the vector layer, regardless of overlays being applied to it or not. I cannot reproduce this in AD2 — it happened only once, but with a document already tested in APub)

Seems to be an APub bug. Will modify the post accordingly.
