Japhasca Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) I have five images open currently. The Rectangle Select tool is working completely normally on the latter four.On the first (which was also the one I've had opened the longest,) the tool is not drawing a selection when being used. The History box is still adding "Rectangle Select" to its list every time I use it even though nothing is happening. I checked to see if maybe it was just invisible, but it's literally doing nothing, as the Copy menu option is not usable. I tried a couple things to mess around with it for kicks. I was able to paste, which shows up within a selection box, but moving it, deleting it, or undoing it does not "reset" the selection tool. Not that I had any reason to think it would, but I thought I would try. Switching to another tool and then switching back does nothing to it, either. After closing and re-opening the image, the tool worked normally. Edited August 3, 2014 by Japhasca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Hi there - are you sure you have it back on Replace?

Japhasca Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) Hi there - are you sure you have it back on Replace? Yes. Settings are held globally when multiple images are open, and only one image was acting this way. Edited August 3, 2014 by Japhasca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midora Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I can confirm that this effect happens to me too. But it does not happen quite often and I can not provide steps to reproduce it. I guess up to now it happened only on computers where hardware acceleration is switched off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 ∴ - it must be a bug. Fortunatley it has not happened (yet) to me and I have hardware acceleration switched off Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

midora Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 But it may be a graphic driver issue and not related to Paint.NET. You just don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't seem to be a big issue, but if it can be figured out some way, that would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
