Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

I am getting some unexpected behaviour when using the paint bucket to fill. I made a little video to demonstrate. I also have that occasional problem with my point curser changing to the arrow and not changing back. Only fix is to restart the whole Mac. This is evidence of it happening, but I could not catch the moment it happened on video. I was not doing anything special when it happened.

Looking at your video it occurs to me that maybe on the Paintbucket tool you accidentally switched to the B color ? (which is white) .

But having selected the A colour, where do you see it changing to the B colour in the video? Because I can't figure out how that would be happening. In fact, just tried it again and it filled wrong, but not with the B colour. That is, I changed the B to blue and it still filled white.

Uncheck "AutoPick color" in the tool panel.

Auto pick color automatically pick the colour form the previous frame.

Oh my gosh, I don't even know how that got ticked. Thanks for solving that little mystery.

Elodie, can you help with this pointer thing? Last time it took about 5 days between it happening, now it has happened twice in two days and I have to restart my entire computer to fix it, which is a pain. This has only started happening since version 10.0.3 and the notes indicate that something was changed about the pointer issue. Previously it happened, but just clicking outside the drawing area would reset it, so no need to restart.

And you're always welcome

Regarding your second question, I answered it in the dedicated topic : http://forum.tvpaint.com/viewtopic.php? ... 959#p91959" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
