Artifacts with brushes and Selection tools

[Marand313]

I have been having issues with this since a recent update. This was not an issue in version 1 but initially it was only on more specialized brushes. Now it is showing up on soft round brushes and the freehand selection tool.

I have noticed that it does have something to do with the size of the brush or selection or when zoomed in. I am not sure. But right now the app is almost unusable because of it.

Hi Marand313,

If you fully restart the iPad app does this issue still occur?

Thanks

Still happens after a full restart. Not immediately but over time of using the app it gets worse and worse. What’s posted above is the worst it’s ever gotten. It always shows up on the specialty brushes and gradually builds up to the basic soft round brushes. Does not happen when brush is large, only under 200px and happens mostly when I zoom in. 

After the full restart the brushes work fine for a while but the brush menu ALWAYS looks like what’s pictured above. 
I’m on an iPad Air 5th gen. iPadOS 16.3.1. Latest affinity version.

Ok I am now seeing this on large brushes. I am not sure what I’m doing to cause this. It happens with the basic brush tool as well as cloning and healing. I use the brush at very low flow 3-7%. And I shift between large and small brushes a lot in my workflow.

I did a full restart again and it cleared the artifacts from the brush menu but came back the more I used the app. I noticed it came back the more projects I opened including ones I have been working on for a couple days.
