Drawing with pencil creates line after changing size

[frankthechicken]

After changing the size of the pencil width or colour, tapping off the menu to close it with the pencil causes a straight line to be drawn.  The only effective way is to tap with your finger.  

 

Clearly one should be able to tap off the menu with the pencil.

 

*Edit*

I should have stated this is 1.8.0.165 on a 1TB iPad Pro 2018

Hey frankthechicken,

I have logged a couple of bugs and improvements around your post—thank you.

We should be able to dismiss a pop-up dialog with a tap but also be able to draw a stroke if the dialog is still open. Something has clearly bugged here. We should be able to get this sorted.

This bug was, I think, first introduced in 1.7.

 

After my limited testing 1.8 seems like a huge improvement on 1.7, so huge congratulations to the team.  It seems to be back to the wonderful standards of 1.6, which is great.

My main annoyance of 1.7 was the slowdown when resizing layers, this seems to be vastly improved in the new version.  There are a few occasions when resizing/moving layers long slow downs occur but it's nowhere near the levels of 1.7.

Beta .168

 

Partial fix to tapping away from popups

 

Still get a dot when tapping away, no longer get a line forming it seems.

 

The dot is the size of the previous brush size.

 

A start I guess!

Thanks Frank,

We have a full fix but noticed some bad side-effects - we'll sort it out properly, ready for the 1.8.1 beta phase in a week or so..

Thanks,

A

Thanks for letting us know.

I think I would have preferred forcing the user to tap OK on the popup as it is easy to forget and having to correct the error blob much later is a pain.

This has regressed to prior .168 Beta with the last two versions (1.8.2.172 and previous)

 

In other words the line is being drawn again after tapping off the context menu.

I know this is low priority, but it would be nice to have fixed.

 

* 1.8.3.178 - RC

Back to a dot only in current beta GM 😁

I still get a line and a dot unfortunately.  I would rather only allow the context menu to be dismissed by pressing OK, rather than having to go back in history/erase whenever I forget.  But there are bigger things to worry about!!
