[AD 2.2.0] Brush dynamics panel display dropping colour (white=grey)

[StuartRc]

Hi

Not having much luck today

Notes:
1. Add new brush set (empty)
2. Create new intensity Brush
3. Name off existing sheet
4. Duplicate brush (Save As)
5. Repeat  but change nozzle from Big-T version 1 library (resource)
6. Edit the dynamics to roughly match original set (Wanted to edit some of this anyway!)

Recreate the original set and see if still locks up when selecting brushes for editing repeatedly!

So as have been having trouble importing and updating older brushes.. decided to rebuild from scratch in 2.2...Straightforward but slightly different process with all the changes made to Brush options settings and dynamics. The ability to Save As in brush is great.. much quicker but I came across this....  

As in screenshot the brush Dynamics Panel Display firstly changed the colour from white to grey. Then Failed to update the selected brush when I switched to fix the issue. You can see this in the attached screenshot.

1. The brush painted in grey as seen underneath the panel even though the ink is set to black This occurred when the Brush Dynamics Panel changed from white (as UI should be) to grey...
2. Attempting to recover by switching brushes left the brush changed in the Brush Panel but the Dynamics Panel incorrect!

Hi @StuartRc,

Thanks for your report!

Unfortunately I'm having a hard time replicating this issue currently;

This sounds as though 'Wet Edges' may have been enabled for the Paint Brush Tool, perhaps when switching to a different brush and then back to this one. Please double check this setting and try painting in Black once again.

Are you able to provide a screen recording showing the exact steps taken in your workflow for this dialog to display an incorrect brush? As I've tried following your steps here, but the brush I'm visibly editing remains the brush that I'm painting with at all times - unless I have misunderstood your workflow/report!

Many thanks in advance

Hi
Ok! I will try and re-create these events (and record it!) ... I am still working on the brush set.. i will see if I can catch it and check wet edges!. but I am a bit limited without the size (I can get around the initial brush size issue from the context bar BUT not with the Sub-Brush EEK!) It is not the first time I have seen these type of issues. To be honest I did not check whether wet edges accidently became active; I tend not to use the option it! I was editing the dynamics panel when display window just changed to grey... I have seen a couple of instances where the display 'blanks out' and where the new 'update brush' + switching brushes sometimes gets a bit lost. 'Double click' on another brush fixes it!

I will let you know!😀

I was trying to re-build a brush set from scratch by creating a new labelled category. adding completely new brushes with importing existing nozzles from a previous set. then copying the settings from 1.10 to 2.2. just to see if a new 2.2 built  set stopped crashing. (I was having a lot of trouble with category (older 1.10 | 2.0 version)) ..I logged this here. So basically rapidly changing brushes (clicking) with dynamics panel open and or artboard selected could cause AD to stop responding....but it still happened in new brush build!

I was going to suggest that you can watch the Context Toolbar to see the size value, but I had not considered this for sub-brushes.
That certainly sounds frustrating and our apologies for any inconveniences caused due to this in the meantime!

It appears as though this should hopefully be resolved in the next update (and therefore assumedly the next beta version available also), based on the updates to the development log

thanks for getting back to me so quick!

I can use it for the Master Brush...already used it! ... only found out myself yesterday that you cannot use if for the sub-brush....never mind nice try!😀

It is Ok! I have plenty of other brushes I can use!😀
