accidentally drawing (straight lines)

[cbcbcfybcyvbnvcf]

hi i recently started trying out affinity desinger and although i have found many things i like about the app so far
there is one problem that has given me a pretty frustrating experience and that is just to draw
i kept accidentally drawing things with my fingers that i didn't want to or putting the pen down and nothing happened even though i had "touch for gestures only" enabled

i tried to search the internet for a solution to this problem but i'm apparently the only one having this problem

i have now tried a bit more and have come to the conclusion that both the color picker and especially the function to draw straight lines when you have a finger on the i pad and then draw are responsible for this

coming from procreate these problems never occurred to me because there you can for example set the delay for the color picker

i tried to disable both functions in affinity desinger but couldn't find a way to do it yet

I would be very happy about help because I am absolutely clueless at this point

Hi @cbcbcfybcyvbnvcfand Welcome to the Forums,

I've just to replicate this and haven't been able to as of yet.  I was switching between Pencil and Paintbrush tool when trying.  If this is something you can replicate, can you see if you can get a screen recording of it?  To record your screen on iPad, see here.  Also in Affinity, If you could enable Show Touches in Settings>General, it should make the recording easier to follow as I'll be able to see where the touches on screen are
