Problem with Mask Flood-Fill Undo
Posted: October 27th, 2024, 9:25 am
When using the Mask Flood-Fill tool, invalid mouse-clicks (for the given state) causes Undo problem.
For example, if the initial mouse-click for the Flood-Fill tool is a Ctrl-Shift-Click nothing appears to happen. The Help File says that a Ctrl-Shift-Click “applies the current flood fill and starts a new one.” The expected behavior IMO is ambiguous. Should an initial Ctrl-Shift-Click do nothing or should an imaginary null seed point be applied (doing nothing) and a new seed point be set mimicking an un-modified Click. In any case, in 8.0.459 using a Ctrl-Shift-Click twice in the Flood-Fill tool upon initial entry to the tool makes it so you cannot Undo prior mask operations.
To reproduce the problem:
1. Start PWP 8.0.459
2. Add a Color Wheel Test Pattern
3. Add a Masks Transformation
4. Select the Paint Tool. Create some Paint Tool strokes
5. Select the Flood Fill Tool.
6. Ctrl-Shift-Click in two locations on the Color Wheel Test Pattern image
7. Note that the Undo Last Operation button no longer works
