Crash on gradient layer and resize


Recommended Posts

  1. load an image
  2. new layer
  3. gradient tool, draw a gradient
  4. move tool, select gradient layer and resize to smaller than main image
  5. draw another gradient on resized layer -- outline of layer in blue seems to be same size as original image, though reduced image layer appears ok.
  6. Repeat 4 and 5

Once this resulted in a whole system (win10) crash. Another time AP just bugged out and vanished.

Some kind of memory leak or recursive spiral? Couple of processes fighting one another?

Tried it, but AP wouldn't crash. It is strange that the resized layer suddenly grows as large and even larger than the original image.

Same for me Ron P. It wouldn't crash but I can't understand why it is growing... I'll see if I can get the crash on another machine but will probably get dev to investigate the size change. Thanks for the post dmstraker :) 

Update - I just had to do a hard reboot on my Windows machine. I just repeated step 4 and 5 one more time and my entire machine just locked up. I tried it on macOS and it locked up there but I was able to quit the app eventually.

I think it's just increasing the pixel dimensions to something enormous. This issue is easier to reproduce on an already big image. I tried again on a 15,000 px x 15,000 px image and it only took one go to lock the app up.
