Bug ID: 442544
Summary: Krita 5.0's Shift modifier to change brush size is not
behaving as expected.
Product: krita
Version: 5.0.0-beta1
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Tools/Freehand
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: tyson...@tysontan.com
Target Milestone: ---
Krita 5.0's Shift modifier to change brush size is not behaving correctly. It
keeps jittering about its size, very hard to control, and feels very buggy. I
think the problem lies in a recent change that allows it to Shift + Drag all
directions.
Previously in Krita 4.x, we can only Shift + Drag Left/Right to change the
brush's size. Now in Krita 5.0, we can Shift + Draw all directions to change
the brush's size, with Up/Left being increase, Down/Right being decrease in
size.
The problem is, what happens when we drag towards Up-Left or Down-Right? The
app can't make up its mind to whether increase or decrease the brush size, but
can only dance back and forth. As both human and the nature of the graphics
tablet, when we drag, there is no way we can avoid some movement being
registered as an opposite direction on both axis. In the past I can just close
my eyes and drag towards left/right in general knowing it will
increase/decrease my brush size, but now I have to pay attention to drag
diagonally from Down-Left to Up-Right. I can't deviate much from the 45 degree
line either, or the brush size will jump around. It makes a very frustrating
experience.
Therefore, I wish this change in behavior can be reverted.
