Tools often "grab" entire graphic


Recommended Posts

This is a nasty little but that was introduce in beta .209

When painting with a brush or the inpaintng brush for example and you leave the canvas area, te tool often just grabs the graphic as if you are holding down the left mouse button and drags it everywhere. Sometimes by repeated clicking you can make it "let go" but I have had that fail and had to kill the program and lose my edits 

Confirmations?

Hey Rick,

I'm struggling to reproduce this but I think I've had it happened to me. Does it happen regularly enough so that you could get a screen recording of it?

I will attempt to grab a video. It does not happen all that often but once or twice a day is aggravating. As I said, one time I could not break out of it

Here is a video. I did it on a blank pixel layer and as you can see picking another tool doesn't help

It is fairly easy to reproduces ... just grab any tool such as the brush and make sure you "color" off the canvas in a sloppy manner and it will start grabbing. Of course we don't work that way but often the slightest move off the canvas produces this result

Thanks for looking into this

It's because the mouse up message was never received, so the main area still thinks the mouse is down. I'm wondering if this has always been there, or this is new.

FWIW I don't recall it ever happening to me before this beta.

CAUTIOUSLY ... in 1.7.0.231 this seems to be fixed. The graphic will still grab randomly but you can get out of it
