[Precise and accurate selections cannot be made with Apple Pencil in crowded area]

Put on your foil hats, i have a theory!!!!

I have a similar issue with the Apple Pencil when using the pen tool when tapping out really tight points. I made a thread about it, linked below. It appears to be a quirk with the way the app recognizes inputs from the apple pencil. 

My theory is the apple pencil isn't set precisely enough and taps from the pencil are acting like a fat finger input with a radius around the point where the apple pencil input is recorded, Affinity then treats the apple pencil tap like a finger input and estimates what it should do based on where it thinks a finger should have tapped based on that radius instead of the exact point where the pencil actually tapped.  This appears to be why I'm having a pen issue, and could also be causing the selection tool issue too.

Per my link below, it's possible to see the weirdness im talking about. Drawing tight points with the pen tool, you can't put nodes close together, instead the selection radius grabs the adjacent node within a set boundry around my pencil tap instead of plotting a new point. Same thing is probably happening with the selector tool, the selection might be estimated instead of precise, even though the apple pencil is accurate enough to not need need that selection radius... 

It's just a throught, it only appears to affect tap input from the pencil (selecting, tapping out a point, selecting a single node, etc) and not actual pencil drawing input, which is very accurate. It may just be the pencil settings are emulating a finger tap. 

OK, crazy time is over now. Time to get back to antivaxxing, fake moon landings and chemtrails! hahahhahahha!

 

 

Kept getting frustrated when doing some pixel drawings with my Apple pencil on my iPad pro (same as the one up top) in Designer. Really often the pixel above where I was touching the screen is where the colour went and I was constantly undoing and colouring in anew. I'm zoomed in real tight on the screen, perhaps that's a thing?
