Arrange -> New Window doesn't update

[wouterg11744736]

Hello,

As the title says, When I go to window - arrange - new window, that window will not properly update. 
Specifically the brush tool (and perhaps eraser too) don't update properly. I can't figure out what causes it to update, but only seems to do so sporadically. 

I do a lot of illustration work and always keep an extra window open to look at my work full screen (I'm usually zoomed in on another screen). Currently that's almost impossible as the extra window is behind many brushstrokes and I can't get it to update. 

If it helps: Both the brush and eraser won't update the second window, but the move tool will. So I can force an update by using the move tool.

Thank you,

-Wouter

I have the same exact problem since something like last week. Same situation, I paint on one window and keep another open to look at the painting as a whole but it doesn't update with the brush tool or eraser. It does when I do a CTRL+Z.

I have seen on other forums that other people have the same issue

Please fix this.

Thank you for your help.

I've tried and "it worked" for a minute but after that the problem came back and it just stopped updating the second window except when hitting CTRL+Z.

You are not alone in this. I have verified this issue in another discussion or bug report. This is definitely a bug.

This is a known issue. You can try the Navigator window as a workaround.
