The effect is very very obvious when you draw with the thin brush, to sad me, i love to draw with the thinly brushes.
Hi, what zoom setting are you using? If you have a very small zoom, like 25% or less, it’s normal that you will see a “staircase” line. It should be independent of absolute or relative/mouse mode.
Do you still have this problem at 100% zoom?
Is actually the more i zoom out the more curvy it is, and it is only in mousemode
This is expected and not a bug. The more you zoom out, the less precise pointer tracking becomes. You may be able to reduce this with brush smoothing/stabilizer.
How does your line look at 100% zoom?
Bad, worse than in the screenshot, smoothing/stabilizer doesn’t help in any way
I tried it a bit on my Windows 11 + Wacom, and yeah, I don’t think you can get this setup to work well in Krita.
If you run Krita in Windows Ink mode, you will get a very clear jagged line. The exact same thing happens in MS Paint. I find it unexpected that brush smoothing doesn’t help you, in my case it produced a visibly smoother line. Other than that, this mode seems to work OK with mouse/relative.
If you run Krita in WinTab mode, the jaggedness is much less pronounced with a pen, but there’s a problem with brush tip cursor outline and the main cursor tracking. They get displaced. I suppose this is what was mentioned by Wolthera, that Krita doesn’t truly support mouse/relative mode.
Of course your tablet must support Windows Ink and WinTab to match Krita setting, otherwise pressure won’t work, etc.
AFAIK the problem stems from the fact that mouse tracks the pointer in pixel precision (integers), whereas tablet/pen is capable of reporting sub-pixel precision, which helps when zoomed out.
The only mitigation I can recommend is to a) use weighted smoothing or stabilizer, b) zoom to 150-200% to increase the cursor precision.
