FOXDIE Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Using Windows 10 Cursor/pen glitch happens whenever I leave Affinity photo and access another application I'm using both the latest updated version of Affinity Photo and I've tried an older version (1.7.0 I believe). Whenever I am using the program and I access another application such as an internet browser, the brush tool stops being responsive.This only happens when I am using my drawing pad (Cintiq 16). The glitch stops me from making free-flowing lines and will only make a straight line from the point I touched the pen down (or clicked) to the point where I stopped. Images provided to help me explain this better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debraspicher Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Try turning up (or off) "double click" distance if you're using a Wacom. That can interfere with the brush tool and cause the straight line effect. scryptseer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOXDIE Posted February 1, 2020 Author Share Posted February 1, 2020 Thank-you so much for the quick reply, however this solution did not work. I've recently found that the glitch happens more frequent if I got straight to the another app without minimizing Affinity photo. It also happens more frequently when click on something within the app (such as a photo in google images or what have you). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOXDIE Posted February 1, 2020 Author Share Posted February 1, 2020 Well good news bad news. Bad news first, apparently my google-fu isn't as good as I thought it once was. Thanks so much for finding that article. Good news is that I think that actually might have solved the issue. I can seem to re-create it. Thank you so much, the both of you. Will post back if I encounter the bug again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still noticing a slight, undesired straight line at the beginning of curved strokes, especially when drafting swiftly. Is there another suggested fix to try? I turned off Windows Ink, but that doesn't seem to do anything noticeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
