Will try this out tonight/tomorrow, and see if that fixes things.
Will also add the version of drivers that this has happened on, as I forgot to add that info in the post (mea culpa)!
Some additional, (maybe) helpful info:
- I use a dual-monitor setup, with the display tablet being marked as the “2nd” screen (otherwise some things sort of break; it’s complicated).
- As of writing this, there’s no special pressure curve setting I’ve used on both Krita & the drivers.
- I tried fiddling with the max speed in Krita, but no luck there.
- I do use a fair share of assets & plug-ins in my workflow (could they interfere in any way?..) On top of that, I have used the Spectral build for Krita before, but in this case this is just the normal 5.3 build with 0 changes;
- I can’t really check if the display has the same behavior on other machines, cause my only linux machine has 500 mb of ram
- This for sure isn’t a memory issue either as I have 40 GB of ram, and Krita has a lot of wiggle room there
That’s all off the top of my head. Will edit this post with my findings post-reinstall!
Alright, gave your solution a go @AhabGreybeard and… tough tiddys. No luck.
I’ll see if maybe uninstalling the nightly and reinstalling 5.2 will do some good, since I tried PTS, CSP, and Affinity to see if anything similar happens – nope, just Krita.

ADDITIONAL INFO:
- Precise display name: Kamvas Pro 20 GT1901
- Driver version: v15.7.6.756
- Krita 5.3.0-prealpha
