P: Mixer Brush Not Working Corrrectly?

Hello, 

 

When I try to paint with a clean brush instead of picking up the colour from the base layer, it's selecting the foreground colour even though I've deselected it. 

Below you can see:

Image 1) I've a base layer.  An empty layer to paint on.  "Load Solid Colours Only" deselected. 

Image 2) It should sample from the base layer and allow me to paint with only those colours, but instead it's automatically using the foreground colour. 

 

Anyone else experiencing this bug and found how to fix it?

Com on guys! New update and again the same problem! How?  It's the main instrument, how could you screw it up? You are forcing us to use the old 23 version.... 2 years old version!

@Jqqerry I'm not sure I follow.  Any chance you could attach a video illustrating your mixer brush settings and the issue you're talking about?   That'd be really helpful to understand what's going on and also so we can reproduce (and fix).

@Chad Rolfs  To be exact, when the sampling mode of the mixer brush is set to current, black or white is loaded, but it does not actually affect the image. However, if it is set to all sample, the first stroke will be affected unconditionally. So you have to cancel the work after stroke and brush again. at every stroke.

It's strange to have to press every stroke of cancellation of work very inefficiently. And I don't know if it's a bug since 2018, but I haven't experienced it before at least 2022 (23.0).

@Jqqerry We'll be working on a fix for this long standing issue soon.  It has just been prioritized and assigned to a Dev to work on.

@Chad Rolfs Then it's not going to be fixed? Essentially, when you use a mixer brush, you have no choice but to adjust the size of the brush.
