 GMS2 Sprite editor bugs

Hello, here are some bugs i've noticed but i don't know what causes them since they happen randomly.

1- After deleting a selection by pressing "supr", the pixels inside that deleted selection start re-appearing when they become in contact with a line im drawing while holding the mouse.

2- After using CTRL+Z, the last pixel i've drawn on gets "locked", i can't draw on it, it gets unlocked once i draw on another pixel.

3- Copying frames sometimes doesn't work, i right click>copy frame to make sure i copy the frame, and when i right click>paste in another sprite, nothing happens. For some reason the only safe way i can get it to work guaranteed that it will copy/paste it is by keeping both sprite windows opened while copying and pasting.

4- GMS2 crashes when i close the sprite editor, sometimes it gets to save the sprite, and sometimes it doesn't, it shows a message saying it couldn't load 1 frame or something like that.

Are you on the latest version of the software? I use the sprite editor quite a bit and haven't had any of the issues you describe...

Okay, then that's really weird... I've just tested the things you have an issue with and can't reproduce. I'm wondering if it's s drivers issue or something...? Try running GMS2 with the software renderer and see how that does: https://help.yoyogames.com/hc/en-us...re-renderer-if-your-GPU-does-not-support-GMS2

Failing that, I'd file a bug report as described in that article.
It doesn't happen everytime, it happens randomly and i don't know what triggers them. Thanks for your help

This is a bug with the line tool? Or the cmnd z Bug?
after using ctrl+z to erase part of the guy's arm, i started drawing it again with the line tool, and as i moved the line while holding mouse button, the erased arm started appearing again. A big part of the arm reappeared before i could record it, so that's why you only see like 3 pixels reappear, but at least you can see it

I have had this happen to me before a few times. Didn't post anything because I had no idea how to reproduce it...
