Please send bug reports and feature requests to http://bugs.kde.org/.
|
|
Don't hesitate to report bugs nor hesitate to send us your wishes - it
|
|
provides valuable feedback that will help to improve future versions of
|
|
KolourPaint and you will not receive flames for reporting duplicates.

This file lists known bugs in this version that are not considered
|
|
"release critical" and are difficult to fix:
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Flicker when zooming in/out.
|
|
|
|
3. Tool Box & Colour Box RMB ToolBar Menus do not work.
|
|
|
|
4. Image dialog spinboxes should accept Enter Key (instead of the dialog's
|
|
OK button) after the user has typed something.
|
|
|
|
OR
|
|
|
|
Spinboxes should signal that their values have changed every time the
|
|
user changes the text (rather than after pressing Enter or clicking on
|
|
another spinbox etc.).
|
|
|
|
The need for the "Update Preview" button and the difficulty of keeping
|
|
the percentages and dimensions in sync in the Resize / Scale dialog are
|
|
manifestations of the current QSpinBox behaviour.
|
|
|
|
6. a) The undo history and document modified state are not updated during
|
|
the drawing of multi-segment tqshapes (Polygon, Connected Lines,
|
|
Curve). They are however updated after tqshapes' completion.
|
|
|
|
b) The text and brush-like tools set the document modified flag even if
|
|
user cancels the draw operation.
|
|
|
|
c) Select a region, manipulate it (e.g. move), undo - the document is
|
|
still marked as modified (because 2 commands - the create selection
|
|
and the move - were added but only one was undone).
|
|
|
|
7. Certain tqshapes may have the wrong size (usually only a pixel off and
|
|
only in extreme cases) e.g. an ellipse of height 1 always has a width 1
|
|
pixel less than it should be. This is a Qt bug.
|
|
|
|
8. At zoom levels that aren't multiples of 100%, parts of the image may
|
|
appear to move when the user interacts with it. Other minor redraw
|
|
glitches may also occur at such zoom levels.
|
|
|
|
9. Keyboard shortcut changes do not propagate to other KolourPaint windows
|
|
(but will propagate to future windows).
|
|
|
|
10. "File/Open Recent" entries are not updated interprocess.
|
|
|
|
11. The blinking text cursor will "disappear" if you type more text than
|
|
you can fit in a text box.
|
|
|
|
12. You cannot select only parts of the text you write.
|
|
|
|
13. Due to a workaround for a Qt bug, writing text with the foreground
|
|
colour set to transparent is incredibly slow. Write your text in
|
|
another colour and then set the foreground colour to transparent after
|
|
you've finished typing to avoid this issue.
|
|
|
|
14. The text cursor may be momentarily misrendered when scrolling the view.
|
|
|
|
17. a) Using KolourPaint on a remote X display may result in redraw errors
|
|
and pixel data corruption.
|
|
|
|
b) KolourPaint is screen depth dependent. Opening an image with a
|
|
an alpha channel and/or a depth higher than the screen and then
|
|
saving it will likely result in loss of colour information. Also,
|
|
8-bit screens are not supported at all. To reduce data loss, run
|
|
your screen at 24-bit. This bug will be addressed in a future
|
|
version of KolourPaint.
|
|
|
|
19. Read support for EPS files is extremely slow. You should not enable
|
|
the "Save Preview" dialog when saving to EPS. This is an issue with
|
|
KDE.
|
|
|
|
20. Pasting a large image (esp. one that doesn't compress well as PNG)
|
|
into an image editor (not necessarily KolourPaint) running as
|
|
different process from the KolourPaint which was the source of the
|
|
image, on a sufficiently slow computer, may fail with the following
|
|
output to STDERR:
|
|
|
|
"kolourpaint: ERROR: kpMainWindow::paste() with sel without pixmap
|
|
QClipboard: timed out while sending data"
|
|
|
|
This is a Qt bug.
|
|
|
|
21. It is not always possible to copy and paste between 2 instances of
|
|
KolourPaint running different Qt versions. See
|
|
QDataStream::setVersion().
|
|
|
|
22. The Emboss, Blur and Sharpen effects give different results depending
|
|
on _both_:
|
|
|
|
a) The KDE version KolourPaint was compiled with
|
|
(due to KImageEffect not supporting strength settings for these
|
|
effects in KDE 3.0, KolourPaint repeats these effects in order to
|
|
simulate strength)
|
|
|
|
b) The KDE version KolourPaint is running under
|
|
(e.g. for the same function calls, KDE 3.2's effects are slower but
|
|
give better results than those in KDE 3.0)
|
|
|
|
23. Changing tool options while in the middle of a drawing option may
|
|
confuse KolourPaint. For instance:
|
|
|
|
a) With the brush tools, the cursor incorrectly appears.
|
|
|
|
b) With the rectangle-based tools, the temporary pixmap does not resize
|
|
when the line width increases.
|
|
|
|
25. Sometimes when you take a screenshot of a window, and then paste in a
|
|
new window, it will be greyscale. When pasting again, it will still be
|
|
greyscale. Cannot consistently reproduce. [Thurston]
|
|
|
|
26. Drawing with the keyboard is unreliable. Depending on the X server,
|
|
either holding down Enter may continually switch between drawing and
|
|
not drawing or KolourPaint may fail to detect the release of the Enter
|
|
key.
|
|
|
|
27. InputMethod has not been tested at zoom levels other than 100%.
|
|
|
|
28. KolourPaint has not been tested against invalid or malicious clipboard
|
|
data.

Issue with XFree86 <= 3.3.6 with the "Emulate3Buttons" Option
|
|
=============================================================
|
|
|
|
When drawing, clicking the left or right mouse button that did not
|
|
initiate the current operation will, in this order:
|
|
|
|
1. finalise the current drawing operation
|
|
2. attempt to paste the contents of the middle-mouse-button clipboard
|
|
|
|
instead of canceling the current drawing operation.
|
|
|
|
This is due to XFree86 sending a release notification for the button that
|
|
initiated the drawing operation, followed by a press notification for the
|
|
emulated 3rd button; instead of just a single press notification for the
|
|
button that is intended to cancel the operation. This works correctly in
|
|
XFree86 4.x with "Emulate3Buttons" on because it is harder to trigger the
|
|
emulation for the 3rd button as it is only invoked if the left and right
|
|
buttons are pressed at almost the same time.
|
|
|
|
Possible solutions:
|
|
|
|
a) Use XFree86 4.x or an X server from another vendor (e.g. X.org).
|
|
b) Press Escape in KolourPaint to cancel the current drawing operation
|
|
instead of using the problematic click method described above.
|
|
c) Disable "Emulate3Buttons".
