So I’ve been dealing with a visual oddity while using Aseprite version 1.3-rc4-x64 on Linux Mint (21.1 with Cinnamon version 5.6.8 if that helps at all) , when I press the alt key to sample a color, my cursor’s graphic jumps up by like 20 pixels. Though when I zoom in to the absolute maximum, I can see the graphic is offset vertically by one pixel, again, I’m not sure if this detail helps but I may as well mention it. My actual cursor doesn’t move though, as the color I was initially pointing at is still sampled, and once I move my mouse just a little, the eyedropper graphic snaps back to where my cursor is. This is making color sampling a little disorientating. I also quickly tried out the 32bit version to see if the problem persists, which it does.
I’d like to further add to this weirdness after fiddling with it further:
The move tool’s graphic has a similar effect, except it goes down and to the right.
I have found out the hard way I cannot simply record this issue using OBS, the cursor’s graphic behaves completely during recording. That just makes this even more confusing.
I am a complete loss as to what is going on here, again I’m sorry I can’t provide much else with all this, or even show what the heck is happening here, unless I go full caveman and record the issue using an external camera.
EDIT:
I just had a friend with a similar cinnamon/mint setup with an AMD GPU record this with an external camera, this is the exact bug I’m talking about:
Hey! I’ve got the same problem!
Have you found a solution or fix?
I’m afraid not. It’s just something I’ve been living with. For a short time I was using my old Nvidia GPU, which fixed it. But as long as you’re using AMD, it looks like you’re stuck with this bug.
Hey! Just wanted to share an update!
I found a fix for it!
I’m using aseprite through steam (if you don’t have it on steam, maybe you can add it as a non-steam game”). Then you go to Aseprite on steam, right click → Properties → Compatibility → Check the box “Force the use of specific Steam Play compatibility tool” → Select Proton
I’m using Proton 9, but tested some others and they all seem to work.
You may notice your arts aren’t showing on the recent tab anymore, but this is due to it being opened in a different location. You have to go to the Disk called “/”, find Home and then navigate to the arts you saved previously.
Hope this helps!
