Why does the paint bucket tool take about 9 seconds to 4 minutes

(for anyone wondering, my laptop specs are Intel® UHD Graphics, ddr3 ram 4gb, Intel® Core™ i3-10110U CPU @ 2.10GHz)

Well, for web standards, that’s a relatively fast CPU you’ve got, so I’m pretty sure it’s a Wick problem, on my Intel i5 it takes a second, when in anything else, especially other sites like Photopea, it’s nearly instant. Try filling in something in Photopea and Wick and you’ll see what I mean.
For now, if your laptop is a Windows machine (which I doubt by the amount of RAM you have), just get Macromedia Flash 8, it’s way more stable despite being older.
God I really need to stop being an abandonware shill.
What I mean is that you should try to find workarounds. If you want to add color to something, add a separate layer and meticuously color everything… frame… by… frame. Just like the olden days.

the time it takes to fill seems to depend on how big the area is.

if you have a small area, it doesn’t take long at all.

if you have a large area, it will take several seconds. in addition to this, subsequent fill bucket uses will take longer, even if you use a small area.

if you use an extremely large area, it could just refuse to fill.

so uh, yeah it’s not the most performant or bug-free of buckets.

it’s because if you are on a low end computer,
the slower the computer is, the longer the paint bucket takes.

…I don’t think it’s the computer specs, dude. Like @awc95014 said, it could be the fact that it’s bug-ridden or that the stage’s resolution is too high.

i use windows sadly

well thats something to keep in mind :upside_down_face:

I sure hope you debloated it then
