RichMcGillicuddy2 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Using 1.9 on a Lenovo Yoga C940. Running Windows 10 Home Tested with built in pen and separate older lenovo pen Tested in paint to verify this is an Affinity specific issue and not a Windows or laptop issue Tested on existing and new documents Testing by drawing with mouse instead of pen and that works fine, even on documents where the issue was seen Steps - Create document, create pixel layer, switch to pixel mode, choose brush - Start drawing. Works for a few seconds and then starts drawing zigzag lines with starting point in the upper left off document. - Seems to get stuck, draws for a few seconds even after I pull the pen away from the screen.

Lasco Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Hi, I believe I am having a similar, if not the same issue. If I try to draw quick circles, I get a jagged start, as if Designer recognized the pen input at first touch but then did not track it until half a second later, causing a jump from where drawing begun to a later point along the drawn curve. Does this happen to you for every brush style? It happens to me for a few "Ink" style brush strokes (Default 36 is what I was trying to use). I ask because maybe we're having the same issue and it's related to the style of brush we are using. Multiple users with the same issue might also help this get a higher priority.

RichMcGillicuddy2 Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 Just tested brushes from every category, same result within a few seconds. Also tested with stabilizer on/off. Same result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Turn off hardware acceleration in Preferences >> Performance and try if it gives you better results.

RichMcGillicuddy2 Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 That did not work but I was able to get it to work. Picture is of my performance settings. Changed pointer from High Precision to Windows Ink and that seems to have fixed the issue. Joachim_L 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted February 19, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 19, 2021 Hi RichMcGillicuddy2, Sorry for the delay in responding, unfortunately some devices/drivers don't always present themselves nicely when using WinTab (High/Low Precision options) and can cause the odd behaviour you're getting. It is for this reason that we've included the ability to use Windows Ink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
