Person in the comments either saying this fixed the problem instantly (circa 2015) or asking about an unrelated issue containing the keywords that brought you here in the first place
Oh hey you have an issue that's so unique nobody can understand let alone solve the issue? Well here's a million tutorials that get just as far as what you've already done then solve an entirely different issue.
For Blender (or Krita or DaVinci), I think the option would be there, but inexplicably grayed out, and all search results tell you what the button does but not how to enable it.
That or it's actually in a UI pane you have to turn on, but you have to be in a different mode or something to do that.
There was a tutorial I was trying to follow where the option mentioned wasn't there at all, and I was in edit mode as they were but beyond that, I could've had a wrong setting enabled/disabled or something haha
Mostly as it puts reddit for answers and 99.99% you get useless info from that site.
Or some useless youtube vid that basically talks nonsense for 30 mins with lots of adverts.
AH! I might show this at work, this PERFECTLY encapsulates why modal interfaces are the WORST. (Like buttons that only display in special “modes” you have to set else where)
It’s been forever my pet peeve that so much software out there doesn’t make it obvious that you’re in a “mode”.
It’s so common to make menus depend on a nebulous state. Stuff like changing the content of a combo box when you have something selected vs not.
I just find the context is always SO poorly communicated.
One of those "not that many times, but weird it happened more than once" things - I keep running into settings in MacOS that even official guides refer to but that are only present on notebooks.
We now go to viewer comments on this breaking story:
"I once saw some bullshit like this, I have nothing more to add."
"Bullshit can be very hard to fix, I wouldn't know where to start with a solution."
So, definitely a lot of opinions here to make this sound like it's a real issue.
Oompfff Adobe premier pro. Sometimes I’d end up in the same video twice and have to pay extra attention to pause click follow like a baby because I’d get distracted in one step and miss it.
Or they are running a version from like, 2015 🥲
i hate going into these knowing i'm probably gonna stop at x crucial step cus i fucked my computer up in a very specific way or forgot important information (possibly part of why i'm doing it)
