A drawing decides to come back and move down when i erase it/cut it with the selection tool :(

[nob10]

hi, i recently got the nightly build, and i expected some issues since it said on the download page that the build can contain new bugs. however, this one is just a lil annoying, tbh. when i try erasing a drawing, itll just come back and move down. same thing with the selection tool, i cut some parts or the drawing, but when i finish cutting, it just comes back and move down. is there a answer to this? thank u if u responded!

Hi Nob10

Can you provide either a video recording of the problem or the necessary steps for how I can reproduce the behavior?

Hmmm… This sounds to me like the same problem I was having at one point:

Deleting selection error

When I select an area and use BACKSPACE to remove it, it just moves downward? Notably, it moves downward the height of itself. [beforedelete] [afterdelete] I don’t program this kind of software, but how on Earth does this even happen?! I guess that’s not my problem though (sorry).

Build Info

Nightly Build Jun 8 2022 commit: a2d5ac4caacb9f5b7ec4f3b0f833b2e16a97dbd3 date: 2022-06-08_20:55:16 Operating System: Windows 10 Version 2009 CPU Architecture: x86_64 Qt Version: 5.15.2

It usually only happens to me now when I erase an entire drawing. However, the “Clear Frame” option works.

i think this is exactly the same problem im having. when i erase/cut parts of a drawing, it works fine, but when i erase the whole thing, it happens again

The best thing you can do to erase an entire drawing is this:

Try this.

I even put a hotkey (Del) to it, making it easier to use.

hi, i cant send a vid, but i dont quite understand when u mean to reproduce the behavior (sorry im really bad at understanding things quickly)

[nob10]

i tried convertin the vid to a gif, and although it cuts off at the end (when erasing full drawing, same problem happens), i think it shows the problem pretty well.

Thanks for the video

Although i can’t reproduce that behavior myself, I did notice that the select tool gets broken after deleting the selection the first time. It does not seem to reset properly and instead appears somewhere else rather than where your cursor is.

I will look into a fix.

[nob10]

alright, thanks for tryin to help as well!

[MrStevns (Oliver)]

I’ve submitted a fix to what i assume is causing the bug, could you please try out this build and tell me if it fixes your problem?

Did your problem occur after you did the edit to a frame, then attempted to play the animation using the internal player. This is done by clicking on the arrow button above the timeline?
