Can someone check this out for me, please?

I tried using canvas rotation discrete mode (shift + alt + spacebar) and the step is 15° (90°/6) but it seems around zero the step is 30° to be precise when I reset rotation then use the rotation mode and rotate around I can’t get back to 0° because it goes from -15° to 15° and vice versa. All other angles seem to be fine but this is the only one that goes double.  
I’m not 100% sure it happens only around 0 but there should be 6 \* 4 = 20 steps but there seems to be only 19.

I’m on win 10, krita 4.4.1

Thank you 🙂

I’m on Debian 10, krita 4.4.1 and I sometimes get 30° steps.  
It’s not always around the zero position. Sometimes it goes from zero to -30.

If it starts doing 0, -30, 0, -30 then I can let go of the mouse button and the keys, then press/click again and it works smoothly with 15° steps.  
I get the impression that it happens if I do continuous rotation movements without lifting the mouse click (or the keys).

Yeah I think this is a bug. If you roate around for a while the part which skips a steps is at a different position. It doesn’t disappear it just moves to a different angle which I assume is just how the code to change the code is written.

Thanks homie 😉
