Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of Krita 5.1.0.

- Even more operations can handle multiple selected layers
- We’ve improved support for the WebP, Photoshop layered TIFF and Photoshop files, and there’s new support for the JPEG-XL file format
- We’re now using XSIMD instead of VC, improving painting performance, especially on Android where vectorization now is used for the first time
- The fill tools have been extended with continuous fill and a new Enclose and fill tool
- For Windows, we’re using a newer version of Angle to improve compatibility with video drivers and improve performance
- You can now configure touch controls in canvas input settings, like “Tap to Undo”
