Problems with shift tool, layers, clip mask and normals

[shape3d]

Hi,

I have several problems in the paintroom, some of them seem to be bugs. They can be seen in the following Video. I  think the  first 3 problems are bugs?

Problems with normal map workflow, is there any possibility to clone parts of a normal map to fix some problems in the texture?

Was the issue with the Paint Room's Shift Tool not working ever fixed? I know this post is from almost 4 years ago but I'm experiencing a very similar bug. The Shift tool in the viewport is erasing, no matter if I choose Smudge, Pinch, or Expand. However, in the UV texture editor view, the Shift tool does nothing. It's not erasing, but it's not smudging/pinching/expanding either. It simply has no effect.

Changing the Degree of the Shift tool makes no difference to the Shift tool's incorrect behavior (unless I set degree to 0 which makes the Shift tool do nothing).

Switching between Connective Picking and Volume Based makes no difference to the Shift tool's incorrect behavior.

The problem seems to be a program setting. The Shift tool worked fine earlier and suddenly it's not. The Shift tool now behaves incorrectly in any file that I open. I looked at all the settings in Edit -> Preference and nothing in there appears to have anything to do with the Shift tool.

Using version 4.9.12 Shift tool works fine.

In the UV texture editor view, the Shift tool does nothing, yes. It only works in Tangent Space.

Conditions is set to Always ?

* Remember that Imported Normal maps cant be edited.
