What's new in 5.3.1.100

Today we're releasing Krita 5.3.1 and 6.0.1. This release mainly fixes an issue for Windows users: some applications, like Microsoft Windows Powertoys' Fancy Zones or the Google Drive plugin cause problems for Krita. These applications query all running applications for their accessibility abilities. Until Qt6, Qt's QML module, which is used extensively in the new text tool, would then recursively query all active screen objects, like comboboxes or buttons, and up and down the entire class hierarchy for accessibility features. This slowed down Krita to the point where even menus would be slow to open. It was extremely tricky to figure this out, since none of the Krita developers actually use these external applications... But it should be fixed now! There are more fixes in this release: - The mutator shortcut is now Ctrl-alt-shift-m instead of Z in accordance with the plugin's manual. - On Android, the canvas will not pan up when you use the text tool - On Android, the OnePlus stylus middle click button works - Animation Key Frame copy pasting now works in Krita 6 - On Wayland, drag and drop is fixed (Wayland clears the clipboard when a new window is opened, so now we have to cache the data.) - The canvas resize dialog now works correctly when changing units (bug: 517857) - The Incremental Backup/Version saving function now works in Krita 6. - On Android, text fields should no longer block stylus movements, pressing spacebar should work as a shortcut and the view should no longer turn blue when pressing a keyboard key. These issues only occurred on some devices. Check out t...
