I recently decided to try the digital water color category in Corel Painter X and I have to say I really like it, I have just one really big problem.
Sometimes when I use the undo button every part of digital water color layers that are outside the visible screen gets erased! Once this have happened the color is gone even if I start hitting undo and I can paint over the area on the same layer without any problems.
The color is gone even if I save the file as a .png or some other file format so it is not simply a bad case of screen corruption.
This have happened on several files, the only thing they have in common is the layer structure; a unused canvas, a scanned sketch with its brightness/contrast altered, one layer of Liquid Ink with some lineart and then a normal layer where I am painting with a Digital watercolor > Simple water brush default variant.

System specs:
CPU: Core2Duo 6700
GPU: Geforce 7950 GTX
OS: Vista Business x64
Ram: 2 Gb
HDD: C: 250 Gb, 70 Gb left, painter is installed on this drive.
D: 500 Gb, 43 Gb left, this is the scratch disk.
Software: Corel Painter X with latest patch.
All drivers are up to date and Vista is fully updated.
Besides this I have only had the screen corruption problem (toolbars sometimes donīt get redrawn when I alt tab to another program) but this is the first major bug I have encountered in Painter.
