Pencil and brush issues

[NotMyFault]

Hi,

 

may have been reported before, can‘t find it.

when using the pencil tool and a vector brush, there are some UI annoyances:

• When using a non-basic brush, you can set pressure profile nodes. This has no effect, but confuses the UI in several ways afterwards:
• when you change the stroke type from an existing curve back to basic, it keeps showing the vector brush
• If you change type to dashed, this works 
• if you change stroke to none, and back to basic or vector brush, the stroke color gets changes to some random color.

The UI behavior is totally confusing. My expectations as user:

• Grey out non-relevant UI elements like pressure profile for vector brushes
• If input is made there, ignore it when not applicable
• If input on some deeply buried UI elements blocks input in UI on higher levels, clear that non-working input

For Textured Line brushes with an opacity variance, you should see a change when applying the pressure profile, as I am seeing one here.

However brushes that have Opacity variance and pressure applied don't correctly switch back to 'Solid Line' style, and this is logged as a bug with our developers already. I'll be sure to 'bump' this for you now as it affects desktop as well as iPad.

I've been able to replicate this on both platforms and I don't believe it is a known issue, so I will be logging this with the team now.

I hope this helps!
