Whaddaya know, now I've finished the painting I cannot reproduce the crash, neither in that document nor in a new one, whether I lock the transparency or not.

I'm using an Intuos 5 touch.

As for the reference issue, I can't reproduce that this morning either, but I'm about 90 per cent sure I had several documents open at the same time, as that is my MO.

ERASE ISSUE

While I'm talking unhelpfully about possible bugs, there is another one which is more persistent -- so persistent I've basically got used to it. I've set my bottom Wacom pen button to erase (because turning it upside down is a pain). This makes it easy to switch between drawing and erasing. And most of the time this works just fine. But the pen often gets stuck on erase tool. After I take my finger off the button, it's still erasing when it should be drawing.

I thought it might be a Wacom issue because I also have Wacom pen erasing issues in another piece of software (Affinity Designer, in which it plain old doesn't work). I've updated the Wacom driver and can't work out what else might be going on. It hasn't always been this way with Artrage -- just after one of the software updates I think.

I can switch back to eraser most of the time by saving the project. (This helpfully gets me doing regular saves...) But sometimes even this doesn't work to switch back to the painting tool, and I need to shut the application and open file again. This is more of an interruption to workflow.

Do you think this would be a problem with my computer/Wacom or Artrage/all three?
