AP 2.1.0.1713 (macOS) - Sub Brushes editor closes soon after any kind of variation (and sometimes causes crashes too...)

I was recording trying to reproduce and opening this thread at the same time...

 

 

It also makes the APP crash... As you can see... 😅

I can see dragging that slider is causing a crash - I'll get that logged

[paolo.limoncelli]

Not only... Also manual input (numeric field) causes the auto-closing of the panel.

Hi!

I've been able to grab a report after a crash.

Hope this helps!

Hi there @Serif Info Bot  - 

I'm using 2.1.1 of Photo 2 / Design 2 and getting this bug every time I add a sub brush in the brush editor and then try to edit it. 99% of the time the app crashes instantly - very occasionally the sub brush window just closes immediately when clicked and can't be edited - the app crashes trying to access it again.

I deleted all custom brushes and did a clean install (without installing any other brush packs) and also updated my OS and the crash is still happening - even if I create a basic round brush with a basic round sub brush and then try to edit that dynamics. I've also tried various combinations of hardware acceleration being enabled / low quality preview etc.

I'm on a Macbook Pro M1 Max 32gb / Ventura 13.4.1 and am using a Wacom Intuous Pro Medium with up to date drivers.

Thanks!

Can you see if you can replicate it using the latest beta please?

Hi Gabe,

I just tried this out with the 2.2 (1903) Beta and unfortunately I'm still having the same issue - however, I've just noticed something which might help - if I have the hand or move tool selected when I open up the sub brush panel to edit its dynamics, it doesn't crash and works perfectly ... but if I have the brush / eraser tool selected, it either crashes instantly or simply closes the sub brush panel instantly and usually crashes at the next edit attempt. (I haven't checked to see what happens when I have any other tools selected other than these.)

Thanks a mil!

 

[Gabe]

Can you please create a new post with a screen recording and a crash report?

[Tony_Ireland]

No problem Gabe - video and log attached.

I made sure the hand tool was selected, created a new round brush and then added a sub brush and tweaked its properties which worked as expected. I then switched to the brush tool, went to edit the sub brush and it crashed - hope this helps.
