Opentoonz keeps switching from any tool to eraser which doesn't allow me to draw. #5238

Open KKOni111 opened 10 months ago

Description

Basically when I try to draw in the app the brush tool will automatically change to the eraser tool without keyboard inputs or me manually switching it and the application will start to freak out whenever I try to switch it back to the brush tool and draw. I can't draw anything on the application.

Steps to Reproduce

Expected Behavior

I hope that this issue is able to be resolved so that I am able to draw on the app without my tool constantly changing to the eraser tool and not allowing me to draw.

Very strange @KKOni111 We need some additional information in order to better understand what you are experiencing. Short of that we are mostly just guessing... and that guessing will generate suggestions such as uninstall/reinstalling etc.

It reads to me like something perhaps in your pen/tablet is inadvertently triggering the change to Eraser. (I assume you have a pen/tablet here although you don't mention if you are using mouse or pen/tablet)

If this is a matter of something accidentally triggering the E key on your keyboard... you could temporarily change your Eraser shortcut key to something other than E and see the program still switches to Eraser. Assigning E to something else might then trigger that other thing.

Let's see... what else can we guess...

If you have a pen/tablet I'd take some time to look at that and its settings very closely.

It occurs to me that you might have the option on that reverts tools back to the previous tool after releasing a shortcut keystroke. I don't use that option so I'm not quite sure what to suggest there.... BUT...

If you are using shortcut keys, that is something worth looking into.

If this is in fact the case you might try starting with the Brush Tool first and then using the eraser and other tools which when released would theoretically move you back automatically to the Brush.
