Pick Layer

Post by tribute27 »

When one picks a layers, sometimes when the cursor is pointed to another part of a drawing, it brings up another menu to select those cluster of pixels.

This happens because the stylus lingers on the selected area. You can get past this by either tapping the menu options really fast, dragging outside the menu, or use their mouse instead of their stylus to select the layer.

this behavior can be confusing to the regular user who just want to select the layers normally and may end up receiving the prompt over and over again, because they didn't know these alternatives. I'm wondering if there's any way to lock the workspace after the menu pops up, or just eliminate the second pop up from happening. Thank you

Yes indeed, we noticed that, it is going to be fixed with the next build.
