Problem

When a paint stroke is created using the draw tool the Rotopaint node automatically switches the input of the viewer to itself regardless of what node the user has selected.

Expected behavior: The viewer does not change inputs so I can see what I'm painting

Actual behavior: The viewer input changes to the rotopaint node

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a rotopaint node and another node
  2. View the second node
  3. Try to paint using the rotopaint node while viewing the second node

Looks like this also doesn't happen sometimes when working but the steps to reproduce should still work? Kind of tricky to nail down the exact behavior. 😕

I can always reproduce this (I'm in macOS). This bug it's annoying, because rotopaint it's use for beauty work and the workaround it's not ideal.

Workaround:
set first viewer node connection to the rotopaint node and a second connection to the node with the final result, and in the viewer change with connection number. (I'm not sure if I was clear enough)

RotoPaint: change auto-connect-to-viewer behavior
c907936 
RotoPaint does not reconnect to the viewer at each stroke by default.
Added a button to the viewer interface to re-enable this behavior.
fixes #641

This happens only with the Draw tool/Clone/Blur/Brighter tools, not the Bezier tool.
This was actually a feature that was added because RotoPaint can be buggy sometimes and create glitches if not connected to the viewer.
I don't know if it is fixed, so I disabled the behavior, and added a button in RotoPaint to re-enable it:
