System\*\* : Windows 10, Krita 5.1.5

Several tools, including the Straight line tool, will automatrically pan if you are zoomed in and draw beyond what’s currently in view. At least they do when I’m drawing with a mouse. But this doesn’t happen when I’m using my tablet which makes it very difficult to draw long lines that require a high level of zoom at both ends.

Is there something I can do to get the same panning behaviour as when drawing with the mouse?

Welcome to the forum, @tofflos.

I see what you mean. That’s an interesting question. I’m not aware of any setting we can change to influence this. Maybe someone else has more info.

I can’t figure out anything and it does seem like a shortfall.  
I’ve changed the title to give more detail.

@AhabGreybeard, @sooz, @raghukamath:  
Shouldn’t this topic possibly be moved to Artist Feedback & Testing to bring it to the attention of developers?

@Michelist Yes, that’s a good idea: Done.
